2021-22 Safety and Prevention Series
The Safety and Prevention Series will be available to Grant, Harney, Lake, Malheur and Wallowa County educators with opportunities lasting through March 2022.
Section 36 of HB 3427 and Oregon Administrative Rule, 581-029-0001 establishes the statewide School Safety and Prevention System (SSPS) to provide assistance to school districts and education service districts in decreasing youth suicidal behavior through the implementation of effective prevention programs and student wellness programs that focus on early identification and intervention by School Safety and Prevention Specialists.
The SSPS will promote physical, mental, and emotional health and safety for students, within a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) with an emphasis on protected classes, historically, traditionally, and currently underserved students and youth through:
Suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention planning and professional development,
Behavioral Safety Assessments designed to result in fewer disproportionate and more equitable outcomes for historically, traditionally, and currently underserved and marginalized students and youth, and
Professional development and procedures for the prevention of bullying, cyberbullying, sexual violence, harassment, or intimidation.
