School Safety Expert Tip – Take Advantage of the Many Free School Safety Resources That are Available
November 27, 2012 by
One of the goals of our non-profit school safety center is to provide as many free resources to school officials, students, parents and community partner agency personnel as we can. We have added many free video podcasts relating to school safety, free checklists, topical papers and of course, still provide free telephone and email technical assistance. We also work to try to highlight the many free resources available from other organizations such as the United States Department of Education, FEMA and the Centers for Disease Control.
We urge school and public safety officials to avail themselves of the many free and high quality resources that are offered by state and federal government agencies.
