Safety and Violence Education (SAVE) Student Act

Safety and Violence Education (SAVE) Students Act

The Safety and Violence Education (SAVE) Students Act, enacted by Ohio’s 133rd General Assembly, addresses school security and youth suicide awareness education and training.

The state legislation requires a comprehensive approach to school safety, engaging the Ohio Departments of Education, Public Safety, Mental Health and Addiction Services, and the Attorney General’s Office. This approach focuses on ensuring the physical and emotional well-being of both students and educators.

Ohio school districts are required by law to provide the following to students in grades 6-12:

  • One hour of evidence-based instruction in suicide awareness and prevention training each year;
  • One hour of safety training and violence prevention instruction each year; and
  • One hour of evidence-based social inclusion instruction each year.

Learn more about the program being used by Huber Heights City Schools to provide this valuable instruction to our students.
