The Kentucky Center for School Safety (KCSS) is excited to announce that the theme for Kentucky Safe Schools Week, September 14-18, is "Strong Roots. Safe Schools". This year's theme highlights the need for ongoing vigilance and proactive steps to keep our schools safe and secure across the Commonwealth.
