School Safety Concerns

Top 3 School Safety Concerns

School safety and security still remains at the forefront of conversations in America, and rightly so. But is enough being done to make students safe?

According to a recent report published by Michelle Gay, co-founder of Safe and Sound Schools, the top 3 School safety and security concerns by parents, students, educators, and the community are

  1. Active Shooter
  2. Bullying
  3. Mental Health Emergencies

Educators, safety officials, and community members cited mental health emergencies as their top concern. However, parents and students were most worried about active shooters, putting them atop the list.

That may be why parents prioritized security measures when discussing ways to budget future spending. Educators placed it at #3 on their list, behind mental health experts (#1) and social and emotional learning (#2).

Most soberingly, it’s students who seem to be bearing the weight of that daily concerns. When asked if they feel like their school has a false sense of security, the majority of students said yes. Only 44 percent of educators said the same, nearly tied with those who were unsure.

This is our fight too

As a company, CIH takes this issue to heart. Testifying before the Indiana Senate in favor of a new bill that would give educators more resources towards safety and security measures. Hosting government officials in our facilities and showcasing solutions that are available for proper school safety and security. Serving as ambassadors in the Lock Don’t block movement.

CIH provides expertise to school leadership to modernize and maintain their security measures. We can help you understand all of the tools available to keep your students safe and secure. We study the latest trends, best practices, and the newest technology so that you know your students are well protected.

But don’t take our word for it. Take it from our school partners, which are comprised of more than 90 school districts and over 350 schools, including the Safest School in America.

CIH has helped Irvington Community Schools with maintenance and ongoing security needs. They are dependable to get the job right.
