School Safety & Wellness

Effective and responsive school safety plans are not built solely around lockdown and run-hide-fight drills. Addressing school safety should also include systems of interventions and supports that involve awareness and participation of all school employees, public safety partners, students, parents and guardians. In response to school violence and threats, the Solano County Office of Education has built a robust collection of resources to support Solano schools in enhancing school safety plans with an emphasis on preparedness, prevention, intervention, response and recovery.

Emergency Actions, Reporting & Response Systems
The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s programs for crisis response and post-crisis reunification are used in more than 30,000 schools, districts, departments, agencies, organizations and communities around the world. They are created through the research-based best practices of school administrators, psychologists, public space safety experts, families, and first responders.
Sandy Hook Promise’s no-cost Say Something program teaches middle and high school students to recognize the warning signs of someone at-risk of hurting themselves or others and how to say something to a trusted adult to get help. The Say Something program is intended to align with social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum, instruction, and programming. Students build essential SEL competencies, including how to empathize with others and seek help when needed (relationship skills) and how to identify problems and analyze situations, as well as solve problems in an ethically-responsible manner (responsible decision-making).
