Colorado State Resources for School Districts

Colorado School Safety Resource Center (CSSRC)

The mission of the Colorado School Safety Resource Center (CSSRC) is to assist educators, emergency responders, community organizations, school mental health professionals, parents and students to create safe, positive and successful school environments for Colorado students in all pre K-12 and higher education schools. 

The Colorado School Safety Resource Center (CSSRC/Center) felt an obligation to convene a working group of school officials and others to review the recommendations from the three Arapahoe High School Shooting 2013 Reports which have the potential to significantly impact Colorado schools. This report is a culmination of that work.
