KY Safe Schools Week

Kentucky Center for School Safety > KY Safe Schools Week

The Kentucky Center for School Safety (KCSS) is excited to announce the theme for Kentucky Safe Schools Week is “Focus on School Safety”, scheduled for September 8-12, 2025. This year’s theme emphasizes the critical need for constant vigilance and proactive measures in maintaining secure learning environments across the Commonwealth.

This dedicated week aims to empower schools to strengthen their safety initiatives through targeted activities and discussions. The goal is to raise awareness about various aspects of school safety and empower students, teachers, parents, and the wider community to take proactive steps in creating a safe and nurturing learning environment for everyone.

“The safety of our students and staff remains our absolute top priority,” said Patricia Greer, Resource Center Director for the Kentucky Center for School Safety. “During KY Safe Schools Week, we encourage every school district to engage in meaningful conversations and implement initiatives that bolster their safety protocols. By working together, we can help make our schools places where learning flourishes in a secure atmosphere.”

KCSS extends its sincere gratitude to all Kentucky school districts that participated in last year’s Kentucky Safe Schools Week 2024 (October 20-26, 2024). Their commitment to fostering safer schools is truly commendable. You can view a summary presentation of KY Safe Schools Week 2024
