  6. Data Summary • What we learned • Overall injury rates are low • It is too early to clarify trends • Clearly defined terms regarding classification of head injuries

  7. Goals • Promote safety and wellness throughout each building; implement any necessary measures/interventions in high traffic areas • Continue to provide safe playgrounds that offer constructive and organized play options that keep our children engaged and physically active • Orientation to playground equipment and rules through PBIS • Supervision of students on playground • Appropriate maintenance of equipment and grounds

  8. Next Steps • Continue to collect more data now that we have clearly defined terms • Look for patterns or trends • School • District-wide • Use the data to identify and implement necessary interventions on a school or district basis • Review the indoor head injuries in more detail regarding location
