Section 1006.07 (6), Florida Statutes (F.S.) requires school districts to conduct an annual self-assessment of their safety and security programs using the Office of Program Policy and Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) School Safety and Security Best Practices. The attached self-assessment and narrative serves to assure that Hillsborough County Public Schools is in compliance with Florida Statute 1006.07(6), Safety and Security Best Practices.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Provide a student-centered learning environment that engages every child • Demonstrate "best practices" in all aspects of safety: student, employee, visitor, facility, transportation, and health
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)
There is not a financial impact for approval of the self-assessment report.
