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.
