This 50-state comparison assesses the K-12 school safety policies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The information presented in this interactive resource gives an overview of relevant laws in each state and does not reflect how these laws may interact with other state or federal policies. The interactive resource does not include district- or school-level policies, handbooks, manuals or other sources outside of state statute or regulations. It also does not provide legal advice on specific circumstances. Hyperlinked data tables for 50-state comparisons showing how all states approach school safety policies are provided. A specific state's approach can be viewed by going to the individual state profile page.
