Safe
Schools and Safe Students in Virginia
Guidelines and Resources to Improve
the Safety of Students in Virginia
 Safe
Schools and Safe Students in Virginia
is a resource for administrators,
guidance counselors, teachers, school nurses, coaches, and
all other school personnel who influence the safety of students
and school staff. This resource guide addresses eight components
of school and student safety. It provides recommendations
for keeping students safe while they are in school, on school
grounds, on their way to or from school, and involved in school-sponsored
activities. It also provides information on helpful Virginia
and national resources to assist schools in achieving these
safety goals.
This guide was developed by the Virginia
Department of Health’s Division of Injury and Violence
Prevention, with input from the Virginia Department of Education
and the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services,
in order to provide schools with a useful, up-to-date reference
on school and student safety.
Adapted from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s
School
Health Index and the Health,
Mental Health and Safety Guidelines for Schools, a production
of the American Academy of Pediatrics, National Association
of School Nurses, and the federal Maternal and Child Health
Bureau.
