Overview
Utah School Safety Framework
USBE, in coordination with stakeholders, has made School Safety a board priority. The Utah School Safety Framework includes 9 Conditions that schools may follow to create comprehensive safe and healthy school policies, plans, protocols, and partnerships. In addition, this resource, the School Safety Playbook.
The SafeUT application operates 24/7 and allows individuals in crisis to connect instantly with a masters-level counselor through chat or phone call. An individual can also submit a tip through the SafeUT application if they are concerned about another student or a possible threat to their school. The SafeUT program is funded through the Utah State Legislature and the services are provided by the Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI) at the University of Utah.
