Join Our Team! Ohio School Safety Center Hiring Regional Contractors
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine today announced that Ohio’s School Safety Center (OSSC) will expand to include five regional school safety liaisons to provide school safety support and resources tailored to each community. View the press release here.
“Whether students are learning in person, virtually, or a mixture of both, Ohio’s new liaisons will provide individualized support for local schools to help ensure the safety and wellness of educators, students, and the entire school community,” said Governor DeWine. “The liaisons will also expand the capacity of the OSSC to proactively identify school/student safety threats made online and provide this information directly to school and law enforcement officials.”
The liaisons will work to enhance collaborative partnerships between schools, first responders, and the mental health community and will also work to ensure that schools take advantage of existing federal, state, and local school safety opportunities, trainings, and programs. The liaisons will be located in the northwest, northeast, central, southwest, and southeast regions of the state.
The OSSC school safety liaison program is funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs’ FY 2019 Student, Teachers, and Officers Preventing School Violence Grant Program. Applicants must reside in the general area of the state for which they are applying to ensure local knowledge and expertise of available resources and relationships within the community.
The deadline for submissions is 3:00 p.m. on 12/30/20.
To access the posting and apply, please visit the DAS Gateway.
This project is supported by the FY 2019 Student, Teachers, and Officers Preventing (STOP) School Violence Grant Program, awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs. Contracts will adhere to federal requirements for hiring, term, and allocation.
