SAVE THE DATE! Especially Safe: An Inclusive Approach to School Safety

When:  May 22, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (ET)

Developed with expert practitioners from across the disciplines, Safe and Sound Schools' program, Especially Safe: An Inclusive Approach to School Safety, includes resources, tools, and teaching ideas to meet the safety needs of students and community members with special needs. Michele Gay will share an overview of the Especially Safe Planning & Preparation Guide, review key considerations for inclusive safety planning, and introduce the TEAMS framework for inclusive safety planning and the Individual Safety Plan (ISP).
