With the new school year upon us, it is important to remember and promote school bus safety. The School Bus Safety page of the Illinois School and Campus Safety Resource Center includes information from the National Association for Pupil Transportation, National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Operations Lifesaver, and more.

The Illinois School and Campus Safety Program is pleased to announce that we will be offering three in-person sessions of the "Digital Threat Assessment" training through Safer Schools Together. The goal of the Digital Threat Assessment class is to give attendees a stronger understanding of the current social media world, tools to be able to proactively identify student safety concerns, and provide strategies for dealing with online situations as they arise.
