Ohio’s Comprehensive School Safety Framework
8/17/2023
As the school year begins it is a great time for school staff to consider the systems and supports in place for a safe school environment. Reviewing systems and policies at the beginning of the school year helps to establish clear systems for a safe school environment. A safe school addresses the emotional and physical safety of students and staff by using a comprehensive approach that engages school staff, students, families and the community. Ohio’s Comprehensive School Safety Framework is a guide to support local implementation of school safety and includes:
- Evidenced-based best practices to assist schools in developing a comprehensive approach that engages school staff, students and families;
- Important role assignments for key personnel in developing a comprehensive school safety approach including principals, counselors, school security and law enforcement; and
- A list of the short-term, intermediate and long-term results that the framework will deliver to more holistically support every child across Ohio.
