In 2020, the legislature funded each ESD to provide a network of support for school districts to develop and implement comprehensive suicide prevention and behavioral health supports for students, and supports for School-Based Threat Assessment programs and the Regional Comprehensive School Safety Center.
The goal of the NWESD School Safety Center is to support student learning by creating and promoting a physically, emotionally, socially, and academically secure climate for students, staff, and visitors. This is done through the requirements RCW 28A.320.125 and the cooperative work of the NWESD and School Districts.
