School Safety & Transportation
The Tennessee Department of Education, through the work of the Coordinated School Health Division and the School Safety & Transportation Team, is committed to providing necessary supports to districts and schools across the state to assist efforts in providing and maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment. Through collaborative efforts with various teams and agencies, the department understands that it is vitally important to have a collaborative approach in order to ensure the safety of all students and staff across Tennessee.
The School Safety & Transportation represents the Healthy School Environment component of the Coordinated School Health Division. The Healthy School Environment component relates to the quality of the physical and aesthetic surroundings; the psychosocial climate, safety, and culture of the school; the school safety and emergency plans; and the periodic review and testing of the factors and conditions that influence the environment. By implementing a comprehensive methodology to address school safety, focusing on mitigation, protection, prevention, response, and recovery, schools can strengthen the safety and security of students and staff.
“Nothing is more important than Tennessee students and teachers returning home from school safely each day.” – Governor Bill Lee
