What site characteristics do safety audits address?
Starting from the property boundary to the building, signs should be clearly written and prominently placed to reinforce to visitors that they are now on school property. There should be signs for visitors’ parking and entrance doors. A visitor should know that he or she is entering school property and that their behavior has to change to follow school guidelines and what is expected of them, such as no guns, no alcohol, etc. School principals should also be aware of school property boundaries so that they may enforce school policies. All schools should have “no trespassing” signs referring to the appropriate zoning ordinance.
