<p>This research investigated how to measure school active
shooter safety against current policies in place regarding two different areas
of school climate. Using the State of Indiana as a case study, 55 different
schools from 38 different counties, various socioeconomic environments and
school types (public, private, etc.) were surveyed. This collected data was
used to represent a sample and representation of active shooter safety in K- 12
schools in Indiana. Research was
conducted through a survey of approximately 40 questions posed to the principal
of a school. The survey was anonymously distributed, and any identifiable
information was assigned a numerical code. Anonymized demographics were
considered and measured as well to determine how active shooter prevention is
treated amongst them. After the study was conducted, the data shows how
demographics, policies, and procedures affect school active shooter prevention.
Analysis showed that school size may relate to lower social emotional security
scores. Additionally, middle schools appear to score higher on social-emotional security than K-12
schools. Nonpublic schools also appear
to score less on active shooter prevention than public schools. There is a
moderate effect between the two. Schools and policymakers should account for
this when developing active shooter safety plans. </p>
