Violent and serious behaviors at school compromise the learning environment and endanger students, teachers, and staff. Ideally, a safe school is free from violent and serious behaviors and members of the school community feel safe. The purpose of this report is to describe the safety of public schools in Arizona.
The Joint Legislative Committee on School Safety was originally established in 1994. Its charge was to review school district applications and select the applicants that were eligible to receive funding for participation in the School Safety Program. The Legislature prescribed the method by which school districts applied to the Committee and defined the purpose and content of the School Safety Program. In 1997, the School Safety Program and related legislation were repealed and replaced by the School Safety Program Oversight Committee, composed of the same membership. The School Safety Program Oversight Committee's charge remained the same as the JLCSS's mission.
