Attorney General Steve Marshall Reminds that Nominations Are
Being Accepted for 2018 Safe Schools Initiative; Deadline is Feb. 25
(MONTGOMERY) – Attorney General Steve Marshall is reminding public and
private schools throughout Alabama that nominations are being accepted for the 2018
Safe Schools Initiate Awards of Excellence. The deadline for schools to submit
applications is February 25.
This spring, the Attorney General’s Office will honor private school winners
from north, central and south Alabama, in addition to the winners from each of the
state’s eight public school board districts.
“These awards offer a valuable opportunity to honor schools that are succeeding
with outstanding safety plans, to recognize procedures that work well and to encourage
implementation of these methods throughout Alabama to keep our children safer,” said
Attorney General Marshall.
Attorney General Marshall plans to visit winning schools this spring to
personally present the award in honor of each school’s accomplishment.
More information about criteria for the awards may be found at the Attorney
General’s website at https://ago.alabama.gov/Documents/2018-SSI-Nomination-
Form.pdf. Please note that nominations are requested to be sent in a digital PDF, if
possible, to ssi@ago.state.al.us. The nominations will be reviewed by an independent
panel of judges.
