| The Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC) was created in 1999 by then Governor George Bush and authorized by the 77th Texas Legislature in 2001 to serve as a central location for school safety information, and to provide schools with research, training, and technical assistance to reduce youth violence and promote safety in the state. TxSSC is charged to conduct safety training that includes: development of a positive school environment and proactive safety measures to address local concerns, school safety courses for law enforcement officials, assistance for districts in developing a multi-hazard emergency operations plan, security criteria for instructional facilities, and a model safety and security audit procedure for the state. The center also collects school safety data for the state and provides a report to the public. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

District Audit Report The District Audit Report documents will be finalized following the Beta-test. Therefore, the wording of the questions may be changed slightly for better understanding. All audit information will be submitted through the on-line District Audit Reporting Tool, which will be made available during the first week of July. Please do not send the Texas School Safety Center the audit information for each individual campus. The District Audit Report Questionnaire provides the specific questions that will be given on the District Audit Reporting Tool. The Glossary provides definitions for any potentially confusing terms stated within the questions.
Polling Place Safety Many of our schools and district facilities serve as polling places for Local, State, and National elections. The following Polling Place Safety Checklist was developed in 2004 by the Central Texas School Safety consortium in conjunction with the Travis County Clerk's Office.
