The modern school system must create an environment that not only allows for a positive learning atmosphere for its students and staff; it must also ensure that it is as safe as it can be for everyone. We must understand the potential threats to safety and security and know how to recognize and react to them. This course covers topics designed to prepare your district for these threats such as:
"Joe conducted an impromptu lockdown drill during school hours to assess our school’s security skills and later attended a faculty meeting to have a discussion. We are grateful to him for always helping us each year and for always answering any questions or concerns.”
Crises are often unexpected events. A crisis event can be brought on by a student, parent or other family member, staff member or intruder.

It is imperative that each school in your district perform investigations in a uniform manner following a clearly defined district policy. Lawsuits often focus on the continuity and quality of employer investigations and the skills of those who conduct them.
All investigations must be conducted in a similar manner across the district, no matter what investigator is conducting the investigation.
This course explains the fundamentals of planning and conducting proper investigations. It provides essential skill training for personnel that is assigned to conduct or assist with an investigation of a student or employee complaint, accident, or allegation of law or policy violation.
When handled properly, the investigation will reveal:
