Untested school safety plans are sound only in theory and significant plan failure has occurred in almost every instance of a major school crisis where plans had not been tested through properly conducted exercises.  One of the nation’s top experts will guide participants through the FEMA and Jane’s models for a progressive and appropriate series of exercises tailored to the school environment.  The presenter coordinated the nation’s largest school exercise program – a two year process culminating in a full scale exercise for more than 200 schools and 15,000 role players.
