Risk & Vulnerability Assessment

A risk & vulnerability assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of a school’s strengths and weaknesses in terms of school safety. The assessment includes the following components of the school’s infrastructure:

• Outside Perimeter (fencing, parking lot, grounds, etc.)
• Exterior (cameras, lights, alarms, etc.)
• Interior (access controls, entrances, classrooms, etc.)  
• Arrival and Dismissal (buses, walkers, parents, etc.)
• Low level lighting (after hours)
• Policies and Procedures

Trends in school safety have significantly changed for the better since Columbine.
