Proactive School Safety Assessments
At Protecting Our Students, we are dedicated to empowering schools with our proactive, one-of-a-kind 4-level safety assessment platform, requested by schools nationwide to create safer, more resilient learning environments. Our School Safety Assessments are designed to help schools and districts navigate critical incidents with intentional care and consistent, research-backed practices. As safety needs evolve, our assessments provide schools with the tools and insights to stay ahead, working collaboratively with community partners and educational leaders. Schools engaging with our assessments receive a comprehensive toolkit to support ongoing safety improvements.
Our assessments are tailored for District and School Critical Incident Teams, as well as administrators, counselors, and lead staff committed to fostering safer school communities through proactive preparedness.
