The Comprehensive Handbook of School Safety

The tragic shootings at Columbine years ago first put the spotlight on the importance of maintaining school safety. Recent news reports of deaths stemming from bullying demonstrate that comprehensive action must be taken to protect not only students, but also faculty and staff who are also at risk in the school environment. This book presents the topic of school safety from a holistic perspective that addresses the spectrum of safety risks to students, faculty, and staff. It presents vulnerability assessment tools and incident investigation forms to help schools develop a comprehensive safety program. Additional topics include security protocols, environmental safety risks, and cyber safety.
