School and Campus Safety Training Forum Highlights the "Whats"

By: Awareity
On: July 29, 2009

I am attending the 2009 Virginia School and Campus Safety Training Forum in Virginia and the speakers have been very informative providing the attendees with a whole lot of “what you should dos”…also called recommendations.

The “what you should dos” and recommendations are targeting serious challenges and obligations:

  • Legal Gotchas
  • Regulatory Updates
  • Gang and Drug Abuse
  • Search Guidelines
  • Violence and Crime Prevention
  • Bullying
  • Establishing Relationships with School and Community
  • Threat Assessment Team Recommendations
  • And many other important topics…

 

In talking with several of the attendees, I have been asking which step is the most difficult:

  • Performing Assessments
  • Planning and Development of Programs
  • Implementing Plans and Ongoing Assessment Results

 

The results have been unanimous…Implementing is the most difficult.

This is not a surprise based on numerous school related reports including the Virginia Tech Review Panel Final Report which stated:

“Had the recommendations in this report been implemented, many of the problems cited above might have been averted.”

I think one of the attendees summed up this challenge even better telling me:

“The conference is great and I am fired up to go back to my school and improve my safety program….but when I get back to my office I am not sure how to implement all this information with all the people that need to know.”

Of course I explained to him that using proven implementation tools was the key…
