Safety and Security Guidelines

Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS)

Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS)

First established in 2014, the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS) brings together expertise from the education, public safety, and industry communities to develop and support a coordinated approach to making effective use of proven security practices specific to K-12 environments, and informed decisions on security investments.

Mission
The mission of PASS is to provide school administrators, school boards and public safety and security professionals with information, tools and insight needed to implement a tiered approach to securing and enhancing the safety of school environments based on their individual needs, nationwide best practices, and making the most effective use of resources available.

Vision
PASS supports efforts by communities throughout the United States to provide and sustain an effective level of security appropriate to each district and K-12 facility, recognizing that making schools safer is both achievable and urgently needed.

Safety and Security Guidelines for K-12 Schools
The PASS Guidelines identify and classify best practices for securing K-12 facilities in response to urgent needs for information identified by the education community. The guidelines include:

  • Specific actions that can effectively raise the baseline of security.
  • Vetted security practices specific to K-12 environments.
  • Objective, reliable information on available safety and security technology.
  • Assessment of current security measures against nationwide best practices.
  • Multiple options for addressing security needs identified, based on available resources.
  • How to distinguish needed and effective solutions from sales pitches on unnecessary products.
