By January 1, schools are required to submit their school safety plans along with other school safety-related items to the DOJ Office of School Safety (OSS). This is a requirement for all schools regardless of their participation in the school safety grants from years ago.
Learn about the requirement here. OSS has also published a checklist to help you submit the required documents.
A lack of private school compliance will be an excuse by state lawmakers to not provide our schools with additional funding (for anything) come the January legislative session. Please help us, and you, by complying with the law now.
