School Safety and Crisis Intervention
The links below connect to resources for intervening to help students and the school community -- during and after crises.

Please don't ignore violent news; if there is a major story, your students have heard about it. Reassure them that you and other school officials will do your best to ensure their safety.

Safe Routes to School
Established in May 2006, the National Center for Safe Routes to School assists states and communities in enabling and encouraging children to safely walk and bicycle to school. The National Center serves as the clearinghouse for the federal Safe Routes to School program. The organization also coordinates online registration efforts and provides technical support and resources for U.S. Walk to School Day and facilitates worldwide promotion and participation. The National Center is maintained by the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center with funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. For more information, please visit www.saferoutesinfo.org.

The Minnesota Safe Routes to School Network was established in January 2010 and includes approximately 40 organizations and agencies, all of which are interested in advancing the SRTS movement in Minnesota.
