October 18-24, 2015
The National School Safety Center, state governors and state school superintendents sponsor America's Safe Schools Week, October 18-24, 2015. 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, October 18-24, 2015, has been proclaimed America's Safe Schools Week. NSSC invites you to participate in this annual observance that was originally established by the National School Safety Center in 1984.
NSSC's goal in this campaign is to motivate key education and law enforcement policymakers, as well as students, parents and community residents, to vigorously advocate school safety. School safety includes keeping campuses free of crime and violence, improving discipline, and increasing student attendance. School that are safe and free of violence, weapons and drugs are necessary to ensure the well-being of all children and the quality of their education.
America's Safe Schools Week provides a unique opportunity to focus on educational issues that directly affect our school district. As a school community please help the future of schools across the country by observing America's Safe Schools Week, October 18-24, 2015.
