The term "school safety" refers to measures and practices that are taken to ensure a safe learning environment for students, teachers, and staff in schools. This includes physical security measures such as access control, surveillance systems, and emergency preparedness plans, as well as social-emotional support programs, bullying prevention initiatives, and threat assessment protocols. The goal of school safety is to minimize the risk of accidents, violence, or other incidents that could disrupt the learning process or cause harm to individuals in a school setting.
