7. Health and Safety (HSAT) The following assurances come directly from the Healthy School Action Tool (HSAT) Assessment (http://www.mihealthtools.org/hsat), an online tool for school buildings to assess their school health environments. If your school completed the HSAT in the past year, you may refer back to your report to answer the following assurances. Responses to these assurances are necessary - whether you've completed the HSAT or not. These assurances are designed to help school improvement teams think about conditions for learning in their school, specifically related to student health and safety, and develop strategies in their school improvement plan to address any identified needs. School Improvement Plan: Assurances Take the HSAT! Assess learning conditions! Develop strategies! Move forward!
