Have you determined how they will be selected, what they will do, and when to include them in discussions? Join superintendents and board members from districts who currently support student representatives to the school board to learn how these students can serve a vital role on your school safety team.

State education and law enforcement experts detail how school districts can protect their students and staff. Learn what security measures and methods will make your schools less vulnerable.

A panel of experts addresses proactive prevention strategies and the mental health needs of students and educators who have weathered the shock of school shootings nationwide.
