School safety ensures that all school districts dedicate their time and attention to create a safe and healthy enviornment for all students and faculty members. All schools are vulnerable to various threats to their safety and security—from weakness at the external perimeters to building procedures and student behavior.These threats can be reduced or eliminated entirely when schools study and adapt safety standards that address their specific needs, such as facilities standards, policies and procedures standards, equipment standards, staff certification standards, and safety planning and crisis response training standards. (Kate Ebling).School safety also includes protecting the students from gangs, hazing by their peers, and laboratory and technology class safety hazards.(Tom M.)
