Transforming School Safety “Coordinators” into School Safety “Specialists:” Missouri’s School Safety Academy Program
Missouri law requires each school district to name a “School Safety Coordinator,” but the law is silent on training and certification of these critical district employees. Recognizing this gap, Missouri School Boards’ Association’s Center for Education Safety acquired grant money and created a School Safety Academy. More than 200 education staff, administrators, school resource officers and facilities directors have been trained in the last two years. This session outlines the path from idea to execution of the Academy program.
- Presenters: Deb Hendricks & Craig Rector
This Midwest School Safety Summit is brought by Safe and Sound Schools in partnership with Missouri School Boards’ Association Center for Education Safety.
