Back to School Safety Campaign

Heading back to school this year is a very different experience. Many students, parents and educators only experienced online learning last year. The resulting feeling of isolation has raised concerns about anxiety and mental health and changed the focus of educators and administrators.

As we return to the classroom this year, there is a renewed emphasis on relationships, safety and security, and wellness.

Because of these unique challenges, the Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC), Ohio Department of Education and Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services have partnered to collect resources to address these unique situations. To view these resources, please visit the OSSC Website. 

Our agencies also will share weekly social media tips on strategies to help students and staff navigate common school safety issues.
