In the 2019 session, under HB 1216, the legislature directed the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction to establish a School Safety and Student Well-Being Advisory Committee (SS-SWAC).
The purpose of School Safety and Student Well-Being Advisory Committee (SS-SWAC) is to advise the superintendent, the office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction’s School Safety Center, the Regional Safety Centers, school districts, and public and private schools on all matters related to comprehensive school safety and student well-being.
SS-SWAC Members and Participants
To ensure the inclusion of youth voice, the School Safety and Student Well-Being Advisory Committee - Youth Advisory Council (SS-SWAC-YAC) was created in the fall of 2019 to convene youth perspective and voice from students across the state and demographic groups. SS-SWAC-YAC members are considered members of the SS-SWAC and their convenings provide a platform for youth to discuss school safety and student well-being topics that are important to them.
If you have questions or would like more information about the SS-SWAC-YAC, please contact Ella DeVerse, Program Supervisor, School Safety and Student Well-Being.
