Governor Greg Abbott announced the launch of the School Safety and Victims’ Services Research Survey for educators across the state of Texas. This survey, administered by Sam Houston State University (SHSU) and the Texas School Safety Center at Texas State University (TSSC), will glean information on school preparedness during, before, and after crises such as active shooter situations or natural disasters. The survey will be sent to more than 500,000 educators across the state and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. The results will inform a statewide needs assessment being conducted by SHSU and TSCC—the largest needs assessment on school safety in the state’s history. This assessment will inform policy makers of ways in which the State of Texas can further support educators’ needs regarding safety, mental health, and violence in schools.
