Safe schools involve so many forms of protection for their students. In terms of protecting LGBTQ+ youth, there needs to be enough student resources such as school counselors and psychologists that are able to help students at any time and are not overworked so that every student gets the help they need. Also, cyberbullying needs to be a no-tolerance policy. Nowadays, principals have access to see what students are bullying online and to who. This way, there can be immediate intervention, suspension, and disciplinary actions implemented.
