Report Summary

Florida Law requires school districts to annually make a self assessment of their safety and security operations using the safety and security best practices developed by OPPAGA. Our office and the Department of Education's Office of Safe Schools worked collaboratively to revise the best practices.

  • OPPAGA and the Office of Safe Schools solicited feedback from Department of Education staff and all 67 school districts.
  • The practices were reviewed by the Commissioner of Education and accepted by the chancellor's office on November 5, 2003.
