Hi Kid: Is School Safety All Talk?

Featuring: Sorry Your Time is Up, Send the Kids Outside, and a SURPRISE PSD Board Meeting

May 18, 2024

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT…
Are Kids Safe at School?

Parents expect safe schools.

Safety words swirl around schools. Safe spaces, safe routes, safe partners, safe transactions, physical safety, emotional safety, safety measures, internet safety, playground safety, safe2tell, heart safe, safeguards, safe behavior, safe sites, safe and supported, safe and secure.

More than words, school safety is a $3 billion dollar industry and student safety is a legal responsibility of school boards through Colorado state law and local school district policies. 

Each school district board of education shall adopt a mission statement for the school district, which statement shall include making safety for all students and staff a priority in each public school of the school district.

Colorado Revised Statute 22-32-109.1
