Conclusion

Safe schools are those where students develop strengths (resilience) that enables them to make healthy choices and where staff members work with community partners to ensure safe facilities. Schools that take time to develop plans and strategies that promote positive student behavior and prevent crises will help students learn. Attendance improvement, bullying prevention, a fair and consistent discipline plan, a strong counseling program, and a schoolwide character education program are all parts of an effective school plan for safety and health. A comprehensive plan also involves partnerships with community health services for students and families.
