April 6, 2023
PASS Safety and Security Guidelines are now avaiable

You’ve been waiting for them—now they’re ready.

Download our revised School Safety and Security Guidelines today! Learn more about the changes you’ll see in the Sixth Edition of the guidelines, which include easy-to-use best practices for all K-12 schools.

“The latest version of the PASS Safety and Security Guidelines reflects and addresses the most current threats facing K-12 schools and offers robust information and best practices for those of us in the education community on how we can better secure our schools,” said Jeremy Gulley, superintendent of the Jay School Corporation in Portland, Ind. and a member of the PASS Board of Directors and Advisory Council.  

With these updated guidelines, you can access the state of safety and security measures on your campus or in your district. You can also compare them against national best practices. The PASS School Safety and Security Guidelines are the most comprehensive information available on best practices specifically for securing K-12 school facilities, including elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. The PASS School Security Checklist allows you to assess the current state of safety and security efforts in your school or district compared to nationwide best practices.

The guidelines are free to download thanks to the efforts of volunteer contributors. The current sixth version of the PASS Guidelines was released in March 2023.

Take some time to review the updates and thoroughly read the guidelines to consider how you can implement them.
