The Safe Schools Task Force (SSTF) was created in response to the LAUSD Board Resolution Safeguarding our Schools: Demanding Common Sense Gun Laws and Best Practices to Protect our Students and Staff (Res-030-17/18).
The SSTF includes community groups, parent groups, law enforcement partners, students, school staff, labor partners, and District personnel. The SSTF is divided into sub-committees tasked with reviewing existing District safety policies, developing metrics to determine policy progress and effectiveness, creating strategies to improve upon existing policies, and make recommendations for new programs.
The sub-committees are:
- Los Angeles School Police Department and LAUSD Emergency Services Division
- Student Mental Health and Wellness Services
- Division of School Operations
- Facilities and Safety Product Evaluations
- School Climate
The SSTF meets quarterly to review progress and develop strategies to address safety issues impacting LAUSD.
