Project Background Information
The Kentucky Center for School
Safety serves as the central point
for data analysis, research, and
dissemination of information about
successful school safety programs,
research results, and new programs.
The Kentucky Safe Schools Data
Project reflects federal and state
guidelines for gathering outcome
data and reporting on prevention
programs and activities in Kentucky
schools. The 1998-99 school year
(July 1, 1998-June 30, 1999) was the
pilot phase designed to acquaint
Kentucky schools with the data
collection instrument and electronic
method of reporting. The resulting
database is reported to the Kentucky
Department of Education and the
Kentucky Center for School Safety
for analysis.
In 2004, the Department of Education
and KCSS have collaborated to create
more specific
law
violation definitions to be used
in the reporting process. Hopefully,
these new definitions will bring
greater consistency to the data
reported and greater validity to the
analysis.
The reports below are the results of
that analysis for the 2005-2006
academic year. All previous years,
are located in the
analysis
archives.
