Best Practices

A best practice is a technique or action through either experience or research, which has consistently proven to lead to a specific positive outcome. The next step in the Unified School Safety Standards is to collaborate with individuals across Texas to create a document which identifies and outlines best practices.

The Texas Unified School Safety Standards: Best Practices can now be submitted via the on-line form provided below. Prior to submitting any best practices, please review the current best practices provided during the first two best practices meetings. Please provide any best practices your school currently uses or you have found for an individual standard. Submitted best practices will be reviewed collectively during a best practices meeting (TBD).
