National Council of
School Safety Directors

School Safety Directors are guides on the Path to Safer Schools.

The National Council of School Safety Directors (NCSSD), is the first, and only program created to establish a national standard, certification, advocacy, and continuing education for School Safety Directors.

Recognizing the utmost importance of safeguarding our schools, the NCSSD is committed to fostering a collaborative environment where leaders in school safety can work together to advance the field and protect the well-being of students, faculty, and staff.

If you're a current, past, or future School Safety Director, join us.
