In one of its boldest standards making efforts ever, the ASIS School Security Standard, a proposed American National Standard approved by American National Standards Institute (ANSI), is set to transform how educational institutions approach security. As the first comprehensive standard of its kind, it will provide schools with a crucial measuring stick for assessing and improving their safety measures. This standard is expected to cover a wide range of issues, from basic security practices maximizing preventive measures, how schools can ensure that student needs as it relates to behavioral issues are being dealt with, prompting schools to critically evaluate their current safety posture and address potential vulnerabilities.
As part of this process, ASIS International will initiate an ANSI 45-day public comment period for the draft of the standard (26 July-9 September).
