However, identifying the key components of a comprehensive approach and the ideal way to balance and implement those components has proved challenging. To address this challenge, the National Institute of Justice’s (NIJ) Comprehensive School Safety Initiative (CSSI) awarded approximately $246 million in grants from 2014 to 2017 to support nearly 100 research projects on school safety. This fact sheet summarizes the findings from these CSSI projects to help schools identify and implement the components of a comprehensive framework for school safety, reflecting the diversity of programs and practices available for school safety and the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing them in America’s schools.  \n1. A comprehensive framework for school safety balances evidence-based strategies for addressing school climate, student behavior, and physical security with consideration for the school’s unique needs and resources.  \nCSSI research indicates that a comprehensive approach to school safety should balance schools’ needs and resources with the best available practices for addressing three key components of school safety: school climate, student behavior, and physical security. A multidisciplinary school safety team can use data to guide decision-making, formulate a school safety action plan, select and implement programs, and monitor progress. The team can use a logic model to explain the connection between program activities and safety-related outcomes, which may help school staff and other stakeholders understand and appreciate the rationale for adopting a new safety-related program. During planning, teams  \nshould also identify and address any unique cultural contexts shaping the experiences of staff, students, and parents, such as high levels of childhood trauma or poverty.  \n2. A positive school climate benefits multiple student-and school-level outcomes, including academic achievement, behavior, and physical safety.  \nSchool climate refers to the norms, values, relationships, and organizational structure that influence people’s feelings about a school. In a positive school climate, people care about and watch out for one another, and student discipline is administered fairly across all student subgroups. A positive school climate supports the student and staff relationships that promote healthy youth development, prevent problem behavior, and encourage reporting about  \nNational Institute of Justice | Advancing Justice Through Science  \nJanuary 2025 NC J 309995  \nFive Things About About Comprehensive Approaches to School Safety  \nconcerning behaviors. A positive school climate benefits students’ academic performance and attendance rates and is associated with lower levels of bullying, victimization, substance use, suspension, fighting, and violence.  \nAs a critical strategy for building a safe school environment, schools should administer a climate survey to students, staff, and parents/legal guardians on an annual or biennial basis. The climate survey results can help schools identify and prioritize their safety-related needs, select evidence-based programs for addressing those needs, and monitor progress to provide accountability and inform planning.  \nTo support this work, schools can seek out training and technical assistance on how to disseminate, analyze, and interpret climate surveys. To improve school climate, multi-component programs yield stronger effects than singlecomponent programs. The benefits of a climate program can take time to appear and may depend on setting, resources, and implementation.  \n3.
