(From U.S. Department of Education) The Trump Administration has launched a website that it says will serve as a "one-stop-shop" for information school administrators, educators, parents can use to enhance school safety and security nationwide. The site, SchoolSafety.gov, is set to provide resources on a range of issues including threat assessments, physical security, emergency planning and excercises designed to help schools and local law enforcement prepare for incidents. SchoolSafety.gov includes:

  • The School Safety Readiness Tool, an assessment which assists users in evaluating their respective school’s overall safety posture across 10 foundational elements of school safety and generates a tailored action plan with task prioritization, options for consideration, aligned resources, and grant opportunities specific to individual needs;
  • A Secure Information Sharing Platform for designated school personnel to share school safety ideas, practices, and tactics in a protected environment; and
  • A wide array of resources and best practices on key school safety topics to assist with building awareness within the school community to promote vigilance and build capacity to respond to incidents.
