CO SJR031

Designates October as "Safe Schools Month" in Colorado to foster awareness about school safety and positive school climate.

Colorado school personnel are responsible for the safety of over 875,000 students daily, representing approximately one-sixth of the state's population.

Encourages educators, community partners, first responders, subject matter experts, the private sector, media, and other stakeholders to coordinate activities with the Colorado School Safety Resource Center.

Schools must adopt all-hazards emergency management principles including prevention, mitigation, protection, preparedness, response, and recovery to address human-caused, technological, and natural hazards.

The resolution was sent to federal officials, state leadership, and various state departments to promote a culture of school safety and positive school environments.
