Research finds mixed picture for school security

A new research report available from the American Association of School Administrators looks at perceptions of school security and actual school security in practice, and the survey finds both good trends as well as security challenges.

The survey also found a lack of emergency notification systems; less than 50 percent fully agreed with the statement that they “possess and make parents aware of systems that will be used to communicate with parents in the event of an emergency.”
