School Safety and Student Well-Being Advisory Committee (SS-SWAC)
Contact Information
In the 2019 session, the legislature directed OSPI to establish a School Safety and Student Well-Being Advisory Committee (SS-SWAC).
The purpose of this committee is to advise the Superintendent, OSPI’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 (SSHB 1216, 2019).
