The National School Safety Center, state governors and state school superintendents sponsor America's Safe Schools Week, October 16-22, 2016. This observance is also actively supported by local, state and national public officials and professional organizations.
Significant progress is being made to ensure that all of our nation's schools are safe, secure and productive. At the forefront of this movement are hundreds of exemplary school, district, state and national programs. To recognize these successes and encourage others, this week has been proclaimed America's Safe Schools Week. We acknowledge and thank those responsible for keeping our schools safe for our children!
