October recognized as first annual Ohio School Safety Month

Posted by Staff on October 1, 2022 - 5:05am

COLUMBUS, Ohio—October 1 marks the start of Ohio’s first annual Ohio School Safety Month.

The Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) developed the theme "Know School Safety, Know Your Role – It’s Everyone’s Responsibility" for October's activities. 

“Students, staff, parents, and guardians all have an important role in promoting school safety by following safety procedures and reporting concerns,” said Emily Torok, OSSC Executive Director. “It is important to balance sufficient building security with a healthy, nurturing school environment that reassures students that although there is a possibility of violence occurring at school, the probability of a school experiencing a high-profile violent act is extremely low.”
