Leadership for a Lifetime: How the Past Prepares Us for the Future
This motivational presentation will cover what it takes to be a good professional and highlight the power of being a good person. It will illustrate how to take individual talents and apply them to the group setting to make an unstoppable and productive team. There are common characteristics that respected people and effective leaders share - most of these traits are developed by the individual rather than through the position they hold. This presentation will cover some of these most important leadership traits, as well as how everyone can use the lessons of yesterday to overcome the challenges of today and capitalize on the opportunities of tomorrow.

Through My Eyes
Ruby Bridges was the first African American Child to integrate an all-white public elementary school in the South in 1960. Six-year-old Ruby and her mother were escorted by four federal 
marshals to the school every day that year. She walked past crowds screaming vicious slurs at her. Undeterred, she later said she only became frightened when she saw a woman holding a black baby doll in a coffin.

She spent her first day in the principal's office due to the chaos created as angry white parents pulled their children from school. Her bravery paved the way for continued Civil Rights actions, and she shares her story in education forums across the nation. A lifelong activist for racial equality, Ruby is the author of her autobiography Through My Eyes and the children's book Ruby Bridges Goes to School: My True Story.

Early Bird Session
SRO Roundtable: Developing Effective School/Law Enforcement Partnerships

So what can we do together? In today’s times, school safety is in the forefront of everyone’s mind. School safety is no longer just a law enforcement or school issue. It is now a state and national issue requiring teamwork and cooperation among the law enforcement community and school administrators like no other time in history. In this session, SRO’s and school administrators will focus on healthy relationships between administrators and law enforcement with school safety at the center of those relationships. Models will be highlighted and shared that have proven to be successful in education. 

Presenter: James Poynter, KYASRO President and KCSS Board Members

   
General Session
8:15 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
Keynote Speaker Stephen M.R. Covey 

Trust and Inspire, a New Way to Lead and Live!
The world has changed, our style of leadership has not. The traditional Command & Control approach to education found in many schools and districts is incapable of inspiring the level of commitment, innovation, collaboration, loyalty and performance needed to unleash the inherent power and potential within administrators, faculty, and each individual student.  The fact is many districts and classrooms are over-managed and under-led.  The antidote to Command & Control, simply put, is Trust & Inspire- a new way to lead and educate.  A Trust & Inspire leader models authentic behavior, with humility and courage. They’re not only trustworthy, they’re trusting, and inspire others to deliver on that trust. They inspire others to willingly give their hearts and minds, not just to the work, or the task at hand, but to contribute meaningfully to something that matters. People don’t want to be merely motivated; they want to be inspired. Contrary to what most people believe, inspiring others is a learnable skill. The 3 Stewardships of a Trust & Inspire School Leader provides a practical, actionable framework for unleashing the greatness inside of people and driving incredible performance.

Updates: School Safety & Resilience Act

The presentation will provide updates regarding the implementation of the School Safety and Resiliency Act from 2019. The presentation will focus on the creation of the law, how it effects school resource officers, required training, and ways SROs can assist with the Annual School Marshal’s Office Risk Assessment.

SRO Survival 101

During this breakout session participants will be given an overview of the required School Resource Officer Training courses SRO I and SRO II objectives. The focus will be on objectives that center around Mental Health Awareness, Trauma Informed Practices, Threat Assessment, and Students with Special Needs. Updated information about discipline practices for students with special needs as identified by IDEA and Section 504 will be provided. Additional time will be given to trauma informed discipline practices and procedures and evidence based mental health interventions in a school setting. There will be a Q & A session at the end. 

Presenters: Meghan Martin, MTSS & Integrated School Mental Health Consultant; Kentucky Academic, Behavioral, and Social Emotional Response to Intervention (KY-ABRI); and University of Louisville Center for Instructional & Behavioral Research in Schools (CIBRS)

Reunification Protocols: Urban & Rural District Perspectives

Presenters from Pulaski and Kenton county school districts will discuss in detail how reunification plans were developed and implemented in their respective school districts.

Presenters:  Police Chief Chris Schutte, Kenton Co.; Wanda Absher, Pulaski Co.; Tyler Brummett, Pulaski Co.
Threat Assessment Team Implementation

The School Safety and Resiliency Act (March 2019) requires Kentucky’s public schools to develop and implement procedures to assess and respond to threatening behavior. Experienced school leaders will walk participants through a solid, research-based approach to developing and implementing the threat assessment process in their schools and districts. During an unprecedented year of isolation and unique educational approaches, an effective threat assessment process is essential as part of a school’s overall safety and security plan. Presenters will share the process for accessing training opportunities for districts (and individual schools, if necessary). The threat assessment process stems from direct training from two of the nation’s foremost experts in threat assessment for schools, Dr. Marisa Randazzo and Mr. Bill Modzeleski. 

Presenters:  Dan Orman and KCSS Team (Wes Cornett, Retired High School Principal; Yvette Thompson, Counselor, Bryan Station High School; Linda Tyree, Retired Elementary Counselor)

Human Trafficking

In this presentation, we will discuss the current state of the laws on human trafficking (briefly) and what the Office of Trafficking and Abuse Prevention and Prosecution does. We will also discuss the signs of human trafficking, particularly in youth, and what to do if one suspects a child is being trafficked. Finally, we will discuss resources that are available to survivors and how those can be accessed.

Presented by: Heather Wagers, Office of Tracking, Abuse Prevention, and Prosecution, KY Office of the Attorney General
