School Safety Needs Assessments
State legislation now requires schools to conduct a School Safety Needs Assessment (SSNA) every three (3) years. Every school completed the first SSNA 2024. Moving forward, schools will now be assigned a year in which to complete the next SSNA. The SSNA needs to be completed by October 15th of the assigned year and must be done with Law Enforcement and the assessment tool provided by the State Security Chief. Additional information regarding the SSNA tool will be shared when it is received from the State. Any questions or concerns, please contact the School Safety Coordinator, Matt Alvernaz at malvernaz@jordandistrict.org or 801-567-8623.
Please see the attached memo for the year that your SSNA will be due.
