Nebraska School Safety and Security Vision
To cultivate a comprehensive school environment before, during, and after an incident where every student, staff member, and visitor feels safe, supported, and empowered to learn and thrive through the utilization of the four pillars, proactive measures, and robust emergency awareness to foster a positive school climate.
Prevention: The priority of altering the path of an incident before it happens in our school communities.
Preparedness: The readiness for any threat, hazard, or incident a school community may encounter.
Response: Implementation of the best practices to provide the appropriate responses to the immediate and long-term issues schools may encounter.
Recovery: Designed to restore climate, culture, and the school environment.
The priority to place school safety first ensures a secure learning environment for all students to reach their full potential. When all Nebraska educational communities are meeting these safety guidelines, it highlights a network of schools working together to create a constructive culture across the state.
