For any education stakeholder, five simple questions to illuminate school safety priorities in your state and community schools.👇 1) Does your school board have a standing safe schools oversight committee? 2) Does your district have a curriculum director? 3) How about an athletics director? 4) What about a similarly responsible school safety director? 🤔 5) If so, do they meet a clear national standard set by peers? It's time to realize who owns your district's safe and secure schools program. This white paper makes the case of why we must make it an urgent priority to invest in a School Safety Director. Congratulations and thanks to those involved in advancing this great leap forward for school safety across America. Only the beginning...
In an era where the safety of schools is increasingly under scrutiny, ZeroNow presents a compelling argument for a paradigm shift in how we approach security in educational settings. Our white paper delves into the urgent need for heightened safety measures in American schools, amidst rising concerns about violence, natural disasters, and emergencies. Central to our thesis is the proposition of a new, pivotal role in every U.S. school district: the School Safety Director (SSD).

Reach or throw, don’t go! This will help your little one remember what to do if someone else is in trouble in the water. If a lifeguard or capable adult is not there to help, do NOT jump in to rescue someone. Instead: Reach out to them. Throw something that floats, like a buoy. You’re never too young to learn water safety. You can teach your child essential lessons like this one from anywhere with our free Longfellow’s WHALE Tales Water Safety for Children program.
