Indiana
The Indiana Department of Education has a School Safety Specialists Academy, offering training for anyone who works for a school district or corporation can become certified in school safety.
David Woodward, the Program Director for the Academy, says Indiana is the only state he knows of that offers this type of training, and says state law requires each school district to have at least one certified school safety specialist on their staff.

1 Teacher Quits, 5 Suspended over Cheating Scandal
Indianapolis, IN
An Indianapolis school district said Friday it suspended five teachers and another resigned amid an investigation into cheating on a state standardized biology exam at one of Indiana's largest high schools.
The Washington Township schools suspended one teacher at North Central High School for 15 days without pay, one for 10 days and three others for four days, the district said in a news release. A sixth teacher resigned.
The district said one teacher took notes on the exam and shared those notes with others. The district said it has submitted a final report on its investigation into the disclosures of questions on the state biology exam in 2009 and 2010 to Wes Bruce, the Indiana Department of Education's chief assessment officer.
The department continues to investigate the matter and has not determined yet whether to throw out affected students' test scores, spokesman Adam Baker said.
