2024 National Summit on K-12 School Safety and Security

The 2024 National Summit on K-12 School Safety and Security will be presented on September 25 and 26.

This virtual event brings together K-12 school leaders and practitioners to discuss and share actionable recommendations that enhance safe and supportive learning environments. 

The 2024 Summit will feature panel discussions, sessions and keynote speakers covering topics such as:

• Understanding and Preventing Youth Violence
• Protecting K-12 Networks
• Youth Online Safety
• Supporting Student Mental Health
• Emergency Planning and Physical Security
• Restorative and Intervention Practices
   

These sessions are designed to foster a nationwide dialogue on some of the most critical school safety issues, as well as equip school stakeholders and personnel with resources, training and best practices to apply in their local school settings and communities.

This free event is open to anyone with a passion for improving school safety but will be of particular interest to K-12 school and district administrators; principals and superintendents; school-based law enforcement; teachers and school staff; mental health practitioners; first responders; federal, state, local, tribal and territorial government partners; and other school safety and security professionals.

Registration for the 2024 Summit will open in late July. Additional information, including speakers and event details, will be added to this page in the upcoming months.
