"The National School Safety Center, state governors and state school superintendents sponsor America's Safe Schools Week, October 21-27, 2020. This observance is also actively supported by local, state and national public officials and professional organizations...
NSSC's goal in this campaign is to motivate key education and law enforcement policymakers, as well as students, parents and community residents, to vigorously advocate school safety. School safety includes keeping campuses free of crime and violence, improving discipline, and increasing student attendance. Schools that are safe and free of violence, weapons and drugs are necessary to ensure the well-being of all children and the quality of their education."
