Research and Evaluation on School Safety: An Evaluation of State School Safety Centers

The goals of this evaluation are to develop a firm understanding of the history, characteristics, structure, activities, and perceived impacts of State School Safety Centers (SSSCs) across the U.S. to identify promising SSSC practices and models for replication, expansion, and evaluation. The descriptive evaluation integrates a diverse blend of data collection strategies including gathering data on center activities over one year, surveys with state-level school safety stakeholders, superintendents, and principals, and interviews with SSSC staff and those served by SSSCs.
