personnel from the school’s perspective. 

Data are also collected on frequency and

disciplinary problems, such as bullying, 

verbal abuse and disorder in the 

classroom; the presence and role of 

school security staff; parent and

programs concerning crime and safety. 

Prior administrations of SSOCS were
