The perceptions, feelings, and behaviors of those who attend the school or are in some way involved with it reveal that the school is a place where people are comfortable and are able to go about their business without concern for their safety.
Students relate to each other and to teachers and school staff in acceptable ways.
Expectations about what is acceptable behavior are clearly stated, and consequences for unacceptable behavior are known and applied when appropriate. Knowledge gained from these assessments needs to be incorporated into the safe school plan and translated into action. Adjustments need to be made when appropriate. Information from surveys and other safety measures needs to be used in the creation of the safe school plan so that safety concerns can be addressed. Continuous measurement of safety concerns needs to take place so that actions can be adjusted to address concerns.
