To provide school communities a platform for building local and national partnerships between parents, educators, students, first responders, mental health professionals, and community members to maintain safe and secure schools.”

“Safe and sound schools can tailor workshops to the unique needs of local geographies as a stand-alone event, or as part of a regional state tour to reach more stakeholders in a shorter time frame. This concentrated focus builds mind share and helps create synergies across multiple schools and districts. Participating organizations can learn and share best practices, and serve resources to each other as they audit, act and assess their school safety efforts.”
