Safe and supportive Environments (SSE) is intended to increase school connections for ALL students. DCPS currently uses 3 strategies to accomplish this initiative:
B3, GSA Clubs, and All in for All Students training. Our goal is for every student to feel safe and supported at all times in an inclusive school culture per school
board policy. The Health and Physical Education Department oversees the implementation of B3 while the Office of Equity and Inclusion oversees the
implementation of GSA Clubs and All in for All Students trainings.
