Safety Readiness Tool

The SchoolSafety.gov Safety Readiness Tool helps you evaluate your school’s safety posture across ten elements. While there is not a universal school safety plan, you can use this tool as a starting point to identify common actions that can help create a safer and more supportive school environment.

The Safety Readiness Tool starts with a brief quiz comprised of ten questions on what your school is currently doing to address school safety. At the end of the quiz, you will receive a personalized action plan with prioritized options for consideration and aligned resources and federal funding opportunities.

The quiz should only take about 10 minutes. Select the answer that best fits your school’s context. Your responses will not be stored by SchoolSafety.gov. Once your school has taken steps to implement part or all of your action plan, consider taking the assessment again to see how your action plan evolves.
