School Safety Audits Clause Samples

The School Safety Audits clause establishes requirements for conducting regular assessments of a school's physical environment, policies, and procedures to ensure the safety and security of students, staff, and visitors. Typically, this involves scheduled inspections, reviews of emergency preparedness plans, and evaluations of building access controls or surveillance systems. By mandating these audits, the clause helps identify potential safety risks and ensures that corrective actions are taken, thereby promoting a safer educational environment and reducing liability for the institution.

School Safety Audits. School safety audits will be conducted annually as required by law to assess school safety conditions in schools. The Virginia School Safety Audit Program is managed by the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and is a written assessment of the safety conditions in each public school. The audits are designed to identify physical security concerns, and identify and evaluate any patterns of student safety concerns. SROs, in collaboration with school administrators, may conduct school inspection walkthroughs and shall participate in other school safety audit mandates including school crisis and emergency management, and response planning and preparation. School walkthroughs will not occur while students are present. The walkthroughs, when utilized, will allow SROs the time to advise school administrators on matters that may require the attention of school personnel. These matters should be considered administrative in nature and when addressed by school administrators, may prevent a future police action.
