Abstract

This study examined the level of school safety and its influencing factors within the school community of Bangsud Integrated School, Tago, Surigao del Sur. Specifically, it determined the profile of respondents in terms of years in service, educational background, relevant trainings attended, and level of School-Based Management (SBM), and assessed their perception of school safety across five dimensions: emotional safety, physical safety, bullying and cyberbullying, substance use, and emergency readiness. The study employed a quantitative descriptive research design and utilized a researcher-made questionnaire administered to 140 respondents, including teachers, school heads, and stakeholders. Data were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, and weighted mean.

Keywords: school safety, school climate, bullying, stakeholder engagement
