Press Release in English
Gov. Roy Cooper and his public safety team convened state leaders in education, public safety, public health and criminal justice today in Greensboro to learn about North Carolina's new five-year strategic plan for creating safer schools. The State Action Plan on School Safety, developed during the last two years, builds off preexisting school safety studies by the Governor’s Crime Commission, the Center for Safer Schools, the U.S. Secret Service and information gained through public forums and meetings with stakeholders.
A collaborative discussion on the state’s school safety initiatives will take place in Greensboro next week, sponsored by the North Carolina Department of Public Safety and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction’s Center for Safer Schools.
In the wake of the tragic shooting at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte last month, Governor Roy Cooper and his public safety team are urging local education and local law enforcement personnel to renew their efforts to work together for safer schools and to use state tools and resources available to help protect North Carolina schools from senseless acts of mass violence.
Governor Pat McCrory's Task Force on Safer Schools met this week to discuss mental health initiatives to improve school safety, a top priority set by the governor when he created the North Carolina Center for Safer Schools.
