The School Safety and Prevention System was established through Section 36 of the Student Success Act and Senate Bill 52 (Adi’s Act). This new statewide system provides an integrative approach for aligning school safety, public education and health systems that is centered in equity, racial equity and access to mental health services.

The program provides technical expertise, consultation, training and system development in responding to threats of violence, sexual incidents, suicidal ideation, bias incidents, and tragedies in the school community.

The program’s multi-tiered system of support also includes universal prevention programs aimed at promoting mental health and belonging in schools and preventing bullying, harassment and intimidation.
