School Safety Training

88% of school shootings are over in five minutes or less. 44% are over in one minute or less.

Each day our nation’s schools are entrusted to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for approximately 55 million elementary and secondary school students. Lessons learned from school emergencies highlight the importance of preparing school officials and first responders to implement emergency operations plans.
