The last week of June, several members of #TeamCISD's Safety & Security Committee attended the Texas School Safety Conference (TxSSC) hosted by the Texas School Safety Center in San Antonio. Clifton ISD was able to use funding from the Safety & Security Grant in addition to the district assurances of the minimum safety standards as outlined in the Texas Administrative Code (TAC) 61.1031, School Safety Requirements.
The Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC) is an official university-level research center at Texas State University. The TxSSC is tasked in Chapter 37 of the Texas Education Code and the Governor’s Homeland Security Strategic Plan with key school safety initiatives and mandates. Specifically, the TxSSC serves as a clearinghouse for the dissemination of safety and security information through research, training, and technical assistance for K-12 schools and junior colleges throughout the state of Texas. In addition, the TxSSC also builds partnerships among youth, adults, schools, law enforcement officers, and community stakeholders to reduce the impact of tobacco on all Texans through prevention, training and enforcement initiatives.
