  3. School Safety Planning Tip

    It’s now officially Fall. As leaves come down, and as you prepare for cooler – colder – days, look around your campus. Do a check of your signage, your sight lines, and other natural or man-made features around your campus which might impact your overall school and campus safety.

    In the meantime, encourage everyone that if they see something, say something!
