  • 1.  New School Safety Clearinghouse Launched

    Posted 03-02-2020 09:49:00 AM

    Secretary DeVos and senior officials from the departments of Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, and Justice met with families from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (Parkland, Fla.) shooting at the White House to launch the federal school safety clearinghouse SchoolSafety.gov. A one-stop-shop of resources for K–12 education administrators, educators, parents, and law enforcement officials, this website builds on the recommendations of the 2017 Federal Commission on School Safety.

    SchoolSafety.gov features 1) the School Safety Readiness Tool, a self-assessment for schools across 10 foundational safety elements; 2) a secure information sharing platform; and 3) an array of best practices and resources on key school safety topics to both promote vigilance and build capacity to respond to incidents. The website will be continually refined and expanded.


    The NSBA Center for Safe Schools served on the National School Safety Foundational Elements Roundtable, with the above mentioned agencies, to provide feedback on the launch of schoolsafety.gov.

    I hope you are well.

    Should we put out a press release about PASS being the only non-government document referenced and recommended in the schoolsafety.gov site and also a partner with NSBA?

    Hey Mark,

     

    We technically cant use "partner", but if you have some language you would like me to include about PASS' work on this I can certainly send it out and link it to the webinar we did as an additional resource and an example of our collaboration.
