School Safety
Administrators know safety means different things to different audiences in the district. Safety to a custodian means understanding how to deal with HazCom or Lockout/Tagout procedures. To a school nurse it may involve bloodborne pathogens guidelines. And to the certified staff, safety deals with bullying or signs of child abuse. Safety constantly needs emphasis in many forms for all school personnel.
