Have you defined who the stakeholders are in your community. It is important to know how your idea, program or organzation will impact your community and who you need on your team that will receive value from your efforts. Checkout the Value of S.A.F.E. TEAM stakeholders report.
Group Discussion “Safe School Environment”
Many are looking to us to answer questions about school safety and involving families as volunteers. One of the largest groups of individuals asking are members of the National PTA. Since we are members of the PTA and active on their PTA Great Ideas Bank discussion board, we have launched a group to effectively answer questions.
Join us on the Safe School Environment group page.
“It Can Happen Here” (video on school safety preparation)
Through the Office of Justice Programs' National Institute of Justice: It Can Happen Here Video
“It Can Happen Here” is a documentary video designed to inform and compel audiences of school safety stakeholders to prepare for man-made and natural emergencies. “It Can Happen Here” makes use of unprecedented access to those first responders, administrators, teachers, students and parents involved in some of the most horrific acts of school violence in U.S. history including the Columbine, Platte Canyon and Amish school house shootings. The lessons learned from these incidents are a primary focus of this video.
Watch the video online or order a DVD to be sent to your school for review by your safety planning team.

Grants for your School/District
As with all federal grant competitions, they had many more applicants than they could fund. But that doesn’t mean they can’t help those who didn’t win (or even apply for) grants. The feds have an excellent technical assistance center with innumerable free resources that districts can use to improve their preparedness at http://remstacenter.org/. I urge you to avail yourself of the materials available there.
