A big focus of our K-12 practice area involves partnering with school administrators to make our schools safer. In addition to projects, we’ve produced podcast episodes about safer schools and interviewed experts on the topic.
Our K-12 Practice Leader, Ben Thompson, recently published an article for District Administration on why designing a safe school requires more than just built solutions. In the article, Thompson covers:
- Physical security measures
- Entry points
- Interior campus security
- Prevention partnerships
- Social programs
