K-12 School Security Guide 3rd Edition 2022

CISA developed this guide to help secure schools as a key part of the
Nation?s critical infrastructure. As schools strive to achieve this education mission, one of the challenges they face is minimizing the risk of acts of crime and violence. This guide is designed to help local education agencies across the United States adopt a systems-based approach to school physical
security planning and implementation. Taking a systems-based approach to layered physical security can help
schools create safe and secure learning environments without asking
staff members to become security experts.
