As we are seeing throughout America, school communities in Illinois are looking for the best ways to stay safe. In Chicago, teachers are spending much of their days dealing with students’ emotional and mental struggles, which have become more complex than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff members are overwhelmed with cases, causing them to feel drained. There is much concern about the mental health of students and how to make sure that all children have support within their schools. In an effort to improve school safety and in response to the recent Michigan school shooting, the Illinois Education Association is partnering with legislators to ensure that school districts are complying with state school safety laws. There is a great need for the ability to proactively prevent violent events with mental health screenings, to report concerning behaviors, and to assess situations as they arise. On top of all of these concerns is the demanding task of managing COVID-19 safety practices according to local, state, and federal guidelines.
It can be seen that school safety encompasses a wide range of areas—physical safety from threatening emergency situations, health protection from COVID-19, mental health awareness, and more. With so much at stake, schools should take action to ensure that the plans that they have are organized and readily available. Digitizing data is the best way to verify that the information stays confidential and secure. It is important that any new safety technology is user-friendly and ultimately going to make everyone’s lives simpler.
