The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) recently published the Safety Study Hall website, a place for schools, students, and families to learn more about safety topics. Additional information about the site can be found below, including the House Bill 1230 content and links to state laws that provide schools, school districts, and educational service districts with direction on their next steps. If you have questions regarding the information below, please don’t hesitate to reach out to their team at [email protected].
What is the Safety Study Hall?
The Safety Study Hall is a library of information and resources on several important health and safety issues for schools, students, and families/caregivers. Created by the Washington State Department of Health in partnership with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and other organizations, the Safety Study Hall is a place to start learning. It is a part of the Schools site hosted by the Department of Health.
As the doors open to the virtual Safety Study Hall, they start with the key safety topics outlined by the Washington State Legislature in HB 1230: prevention strategies related to substance use, and the safe storage of prescription/over-the-counter medication, firearms, and ammunition. The DOH has researched federal, state, local and community resources to find answers to common questions about these issues.
