Title: Keeping Tennessee Schools Safe
Summary: In 2008, a tragic, fatal shooting at a Tennessee high school prompted a legislative request for the Comptroller’s Offices of Research and Education Accountability (OREA) to examine and evaluate what Tennessee is doing to ensure that its schools are safe. For this report, OREA compared state-level laws, policies, and requirements against accepted best practices for keeping schools safe from violence. The report also includes background on measures of school violence and Tennessee laws and programs promoting school safety. This report provides information that may be useful to policymakers in ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of Tennessee’s elementary and secondary schools.
