The inaugural 2022 National Summit on K-12 School Safety and Security will bring together school safety experts, practitioners, and federal, state, and local leaders from across the country to discuss current threats in school safety and explore research-informed strategies for addressing security challenges and risks in K-12 schools. It will be held in coordination with Infrastructure Security Month, CISA’s annual effort to educate the American public about the vital role critical infrastructure plays in the nation’s well-being and the importance of strengthening critical infrastructure security and resilience. The free virtual event will feature the latest research, resources, programs, and guidance available on a range of school safety topics and threats. 2022 sessions will include panels and keynotes on issues such as: cybersecurity, physical security, emergency planning, training and drills, violence prevention, threat assessments and more. K-12 educators, administrators, principals, school-based law enforcement, mental health professionals, policymakers, cybersecurity experts, community liaisons, and other school safety and security professionals are especially encouraged to attend.
