New Resources for Michigan K–12 Schools

In recognition of America's Safe Schools Week, October 19-25, 2025, now is the perfect time to strengthen your school's safety plans and resources.

The Michigan State Police Office of School Safety has released School Safety Toolkits designed to help schools strengthen safety protocols and build a more secure learning environment. These toolkits offer targeted guidance in three essential areas:

🗣️ School Crisis Communication Planning

🚨 Emergency Preparedness for School Events

💻 Best Practices for Investigating Student Online Activity

Each toolkit includes:

✔️ Step-by-step planning tools

✔️ Clear roles and responsibilities for your team

✔️ Proven strategies for prevention and preparedness

Whether you are an administrator, educator, school resource officer, facilities manager, counselor, mental health professional, or part of your school's safety and support team, these resources are built to support proactive planning and informed decision-making.
