🎧 The School Safety Free Period podcast is a great on-going resource for educators to help them stay current about developments in the school safety arena. It's available anywhere people get podcasts.

📘 The ESSN research report for the 2023-2024 school year is now available. This report examines the rates of both threats and violent incidents throughout the US. Educators will find this information valuable as they have most likely lived it during the last school year. This year's report also provides a longitudinal view of school violence over the past 5 years. 

💡 The School Safety 101 training module is specific to K-12 educators. It's a great option for rural school communities as it is online, on-demand, and can be completed autonomously at your own pace. Educators can take the course on their own or school districts can use the module for professional development for their entire staff. Visit the website to take a free preview of the lessons or to register.
