How Laws Protect Safe and Inclusive School Environments
Great Lakes Equity Center
Even though school safety is a topic of concern for many people, there are laws that specifically protect students because of race, national origin, sex, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Educational spaces should prioritize the safety and well-being of all students (Ladson-Billings, 2014). Hence, educators are charged with the responsibility of ensuring all students feel safe and secure while attending school. The purpose of this resource is to support educational practitioners in understanding how laws protect the safety and security of learning environments for students. Concurrently, this resource affirms the various identities of individuals by providing relevant information on how laws provide protection for students who are susceptible to being marginalized because of their race, national origin, sex, religion, sexual orientation, etc.
