About
This Workshop
With
recent terrorist attacks in the
U.S. and abroad and the threat
of more attacks, it is possible
that terrorists could strike
a school or schools in our country. The Department of
Education issued an advisory to schools in October 2004 with
recommendations for heightening security and emergency preparedness
in light of the Beslan,
Russia, school
terror attack months earlier. In addition, the threat
of violence at schools is increasing every year. The
impact of Columbine changed the landscape of the school safety
profession forever, causing many schools to create or revisit
their security and emergency plan, while setting a new threshold
for best practices in school safety. You need to successfully
prepare your school and community against attacks, whether
natural or non-natural.
At
the Security for Schools
Workshop, you will learn about the latest
techniques
and technologies
for school health and safety planning, preparation, response,
wellness, and recovery. You
will be trained in the basic and advanced issues of school
and community issues in health and safety. Attendees
will leave the seminar with tools to use at their school or
affiliated school district, including administrative tools,
educational and training content for staff, parents, and students,
and assist the school in complying with federal standards.
You will have the opportunity to take the information and
implement it for your community.
What
You Will Learn
- What
is involved in creating a coordinated approach to school
health and safety
- Ensuring
that first responders are integrated into the plan from
the planning, preparation, response and recovery standpoints
- The
use and abuse of technology in school health and safety
- How
to deal with disasters of a man made and natural origin
- How

A Homeland Defense Journal "Certificate of Completion"
will be provided to all attendees upon conclusion of the workshop.
