  • What’s the difference between school safety and school security? It’s a distinction that often gets blurred, but it’s one of the key takeaways from lesson 1 of ZeroNow’s Foundations of School Security Leadership Course. In this discussion, we explore how school leaders can approach safety holistically. - School safety is the broader framework—covering everything from emergency preparedness to mental health resources to create a protected and supportive learning environment. - School security is a critical piece of that framework, focusing on physical protections like access control, surveillance, and threat assessment. One analogy from the training stands out: Schools should be like castles, not prisons.  Strong protections should exist, but they should foster a welcoming learning environment—not an institution built on fear. Check out this clip, and let us know—how does your school balance safety and security? Listen Now: https://lnkd.in/eBMpRfS7 #SchoolSafety #Leadership #EducationSecurity #NCSSD #ZeroNow Jason M.
