Extra-Curricular/Event Safety: Reducing After-School and Weekend Risks 
Presented by Dan Orman, KY Center for School Safety
Most schools in Kentucky have followed trends and laws in ‘hardening’ school safety procedures from morning student arrivals to buses departing in the afternoons. There are still practices in many Kentucky schools from 3:30 p.m. on that are allowing school doors to be open and after school activities to carry on with only the program sponsors and evening custodial personnel officially on duty in the building.  21st Century, ESS, and many student groups participating in co-curricular activities leave students and staff at some level of potential risk for tragic events to take place. 
Wide-open doors and facilities, limited (if any) supervision, and leaving the school on “auto pilot” from 3:30 on simply are not options in Kentucky’s schools today.  Although we cannot prevent every potential crime and act of violence, this session will explore ways to reduce risks and to prepare for managing those incidents which cannot be prevented.  While the threat level may vary school to school and community to community, school administrators must take safety and security into account when allowing such activities to occur at school facilities.

Enhancing School Safety in Kentucky Schools Using Threat Assessment Teams, Protocols and Current Practices
Presented by Michael Williams, DPP and Team; Oldham County Schools
Threat assessment represents an important component of a comprehensive approach to school safety. With the requirement in SB1 of Threat Assessment Teams at all schools, this session will discuss the following: The goals of threat assessments in keeping schools safe and helping potential offenders overcome the underlying sources of their anger, hopelessness, or despair; Effective threat assessment teams and protocols provide school professionals with useful information about a student's risks and personal resources; sample Threat Assessment protocol used in one Kentucky school and the other potential student risks that can be identified and prevented through threat assessments such as: suicide, alcohol and drug use, physical abuse, dropping out, and criminal activity.

Kentucky School Security Marshall Update
Presented by Ben Wilcox, Ky School Security Marshal
Kentucky School Security Marshall Ben Wilcox will present the information and findings of the initial round of School Security Risk Assessments required by SB1 completed in all of Kentucky schools. Marshall Wilcox will have his 12 compliance officers in attendance to offer feedback to those administrators in attendance as well. Updates on legislative changes including SB8 will also be discussed as well as the update from DOCJT on new SRO information and any new trainings and certifications.

SRO Roundtable--Developing Effective School/Law Enforcement Partnerships
Facilitated by Chris Barrier-Chief, Montgomery Co. Schools Police, President KYASRO

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. 



Enhancing Access Control and Visitor Protocol – Culture Shift in Our Schools
Presented by Dan Orman, KY Center for School Safety
The impact of The School Safety and Resiliency Act (formerly Senate Bill 1) is making its presence known in school districts across the commonwealth. Several aspects of the measure, intended to enhance safety and security in all Kentucky schools, are essential to achieve the desired levels of safety and security. What do we do when budgets are tight and, although most measures have merit, how do we prioritize and settle on safety/security procedures (regardless of the size of the district) that will tighten up our schools for the real reasons we are all there – teaching and learning? Effective visitor protocol and access control measures require a continuous commitment on the part of everyone to keep students, staff and authorized visitors safe in every school setting. “Shall” versus “May” has significant impact on the importance of following specific parts of the law, especially concerning access control and visitor protocol amendments. 

Roundtable on Elementary School Safety: Elementary School Safety, Security, and Crisis Preparedness Issues
Incidents of school violence in recent years have touched all grade levels in K-12 school districts.  While the typical higher profile incidents of violence typically occur at secondary (middle and high) schools, elementary schools also require our attention in terms of safe school and crisis preparedness planning. This session will address the more common security issues addressed at elementary schools such as:

• Non-custodial parent issues and domestic spill-over adult issues
• Access control
• Communications capabilities
• Bullying and other aggressive behavior prevention
• Supervision issues
• Crisis preparedness planning
• Physical security and related issues
