Bismarck Public Schools believes safe environments are foundational for all students, staff, and community members to thrive at
school and in the community.

GOAL:
All learners are physically, emotionally, academically, and socially safe.
OBJECTIVES:
Increase collaboration on safety between internal and external departments.
Establish a cross departmental team from student support services, special education, safety, administration, and teachers.
