🛡️ Strengthening School Safety Together

This week, Bettendorf Community School District team members participated in training for Iowa’s new School Safety Assessment and Management (I-SSAM) Program. Representatives from each school and the district took part, helping us continue to build a unified, collaborative approach to student and school safety.

Led by the Iowa Governor’s School Safety Bureau in partnership with the Iowa Department of Education, I-SSAM provides Iowa K–12 schools with evidence-based practices for safety threat assessment and management.

School safety is a shared responsibility, and strong systems are built through strong teams, partnerships and preparation.
