Oregon’s School Safety and Prevention Specialists (SSPSs) play a critical role in ensuring safe, supportive, and inclusive environments in schools across the state. Located in each of the nineteen
Education Service Districts across the state, SSPSs work collaboratively with districts, schools, and may provide assistance to private alternative schools and nonprofits that support youth-centered activities for public school students. They provide/facilitate trainings, offer resources, and guidance in the areas of Behavior Safety Assessments, suicide prevention, intervention and postevention, and the prevention of bullying, harassment, intimidation, and sexual violence.
Within the School Safety and Prevention System, the School Safety and Prevention Specialists ensure that all supports are accessible to historically, traditionally and currently underserved and marginalized students and youth through the development and implementation of the System in a manner that is designed to result in fewer disproportionate and more equitable outcomes.
