Violent deaths at schools are rare but tragic events with far-reaching effects on the school population and surrounding community. This indicator presents data on school-associated violent deaths that were collected through the School-Associated Violent Deaths (SAVD) Surveillance System, as well as data on total suicides collected through the Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System Fatal (WISQARS™ Fatal) and data on total homicides collected through the Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR). The SAVD Surveillance System defines a school-associated violent death as "a homicide, suicide, or legal intervention death11 (involving a law enforcement officer), in which the fatal injury occurred on the campus of a functioning elementary or secondary school in the United States." School-associated violent deaths include those that occurred while the victim was on the way to or returning from regular sessions at school or while the victim was attending or traveling to or from an official school-sponsored event. Victims of school-associated violent deaths include not only students and staff members, but also others who are not students or staff members, such as students' parents or community members.
