To enhance school safety, the Department of Homeland Security offers funding, training, and resources for efforts such as providing money for emergency preparedness, training school bus drivers in security and hardening school buildings’ vulnerability.
This website is an excellent resource for the school site administrator and safety professional to review their present security and safety programming levels and resource readiness. To learn more, we encourage you to visit http://www.dhs.gov/school-safety for information on planning and training, grant funding opportunities and additional information sites.
