Goal:

The State Department of Education conducted the Safe and Secure Schools Assessment to assess the current status of the safety and security of K-12 facilities throughout Idaho and explore options for bringing all Idaho's public schools up-to-date in terms of security.

Funding:

In FY 2008, the public schools budget included $150,000 to fund the Safe Schools Study and a report to the Legislature. The Legislature has allocated $100,000 in the FY 2009 public schools budget for the Department to continue work on improving school security in Idaho.

Results of the Statewide Safe and Secure Schools Assessment, which was conducted in Fall 2007

Next steps after the Safe and Secure Schools Assessment:

Create an Idaho-specific Crisis Response Plan Guide and provide training to implement the guide statewide
Standardize statewide school security measures
Develop a statewide vendor identification system
Secure federal funding for security upgrades

The Idaho Emergency Operation Planning Guide For Safe and Secure Schools
