As required by Florida Statutes, school districts have used a self-assessment process to develop corrective action recommendations to improve school safety. Districts report meeting an average of 90% of the state's 29 safety and security best practices. However, 18% or more of Florida's school districts reported not fully meeting four best practices-those governing appropriate equipment to protect property and records; program accountability mechanisms; emergency response procedures; and school systems to minimize the risk for students indicating or exhibiting suicidal behavior.
