Improving School Security: Guidelines From The N.H. Department Of Safety

After last December's school shooting in Newtown, Conn., the Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Management conducted a survey and determined that N.H.’s school buildings are at widely varied levels of security.

Each school will have to take into account their budgetary constraints & environmental factors when considering how to implement the guidelines.
