Discussion: View Thread

On November 14th the Center for Safe Schools hosted a webinar with the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS) titled: PASS K12 Safety and Security Guidelines: A Roadmap to Implementing a Layered and Tiered Approach

This webinar focuses on the understanding that security management is a core responsibility of school administrators, who face daily pressure to ensure that students and staff are protected, often without significant security expertise or the benefit of full-time safety/security staff.  When it comes to security, school administrators are faced with two difficult questions:

• What do we do?
• How do we prioritize?

The goal of this webinar is to answer those questions. PASS has created Guidelines and a Checklist that were developed to provide administrators with the means to effectively evaluate safety and security infrastructure already in place, prioritize investments and maximize safety and security gained by leveraging available resources.  The Guidelines and Checklist identify and classify best practices for securing K12 facilities in response to the urgent needs identified by the educational community.

This session objectives are to create a deeper understanding of:

• the Safety and Security Challenges Facing our K12 Schools
• the Concept of Layered & Tiered Safety & Security
• Layers and Components and Recommended Best Practices Within the Layers
• how the PASS Guidelines and Checklist/Assessment Tools can be utilized by schools to implement and enhance the Safety and Security of their facilities
