K-12 schools saw a 66% jump in the number of overall safety incidents during the first three months of the 2020-21 school year when compared to the same time last school year, according to a report from Gaggle, a security management system used by districts to monitor student activity, that pulled data from 4.5 million students and 3 billion items within school accounts.
Specifically, the increases were spread across four kinds of incidents: suicide and self harm (83%), violence toward others (63%), nudity and sexual content (135%), and drugs and alcohol (59%).
Elementary school students are increasingly contributing to the number of incidents compared to 2019-2020, which the report says highlights the need for districts to include K-5 students in their school safety initiatives.
