KSDE Safe and Supportive Schools Conference

Creating a welcoming and nurturing learning environment for students is essential to improving outcomes in K-12 schools and on higher education campuses. Maintaining safety and security while keeping schools and college and university campuses easily accessible to students, teachers, and staff is an ongoing challenge for administrators. Risks to school property and student safety are constantly evolving, ranging from vandalism and theft to violence among students or from external threats. Integrated security and communications solutions help to mitigate risks, maximize the safety of school buildings and grounds, and improve emergency preparedness when monitoring, identifying, and responding to threats.
