IS YOUR SCHOOL SAFE?
AN ESSENTIAL CHECKLIST

School safety is everyone's business. When investigating your school of choice, can you answer YES to the following questions?

	Does the school appear to be clean and hazard-free?
	Does the school have a safety coordinator who is responsible for maintaining a safe and healthy environment?
	Does the school have a "safe" way for students to report a conflict, crime, or crisis (especially if another student might be involved)?
	Does the school have a crisis prevention plan in place?
	Does the school have procedures in place to respond quickly when a crisis situation does occur? Has the school informed parents, teachers, students, and the community as to what these procedures are?
	Does the school have a fair and consistent discipline procedure?
	Does the school have counselors and psychologists available to students in need?
	Does the school involve the community, teachers, students, staff, and parents in these safety efforts?

Investigating the answers to these questions will give you a better understanding of your child's school.
