Q&A: School Safety Task Force chair Pam Vest Boratyn offers common-sense strategies for safety in schools

On the Attorney General’s role in school safety
 
I want to stress that our children are generally very safe at school. But we need to take seriously our role not only in reacting to school crises when they do occur, but in prevention and recovery. The Attorney General has a statutory role under Ohio Revised Code Section 3313.536 to collect school safety and floor plans from all public, private, charter, and vocational schools as well as preschools with kindergartens — more than 4,300 schools statewide — and make them available to law enforcement in an emergency. Schools upload these plans through their Ohio Department of Education Web portal to the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway. The office urges law enforcement, fire departments, school officials, and other partners to work together to develop plans unique to each school and community.

From the Attorney General

I was raised in a family that placed extraordinary emphasis on customer service. My grandparents ran a small seed business in Yellow Springs, and my parents built the operation into a leading exporter of seed grains and grasses. That doesn’t happen without caring deeply about your customers’ satisfaction, and I’ll be forever grateful to my parents and grandparents for passing that value on to me.
