IASB Convention 2024

No one expects to be the site of the next school shooting, and no one believes it could ever happen in their district. What happens when it does? Proactive preparation for such an unlikely event is essential. The journey beyond the event and the question of "Where do we go from here?" has become all too familiar for school districts. The Recovery Journey for Perry Schools offers key strategies and steps that schools can implement to navigate this difficult path. By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify proactive training and approaches to manage a tragedy, including recognizing key areas of support, implementing communication strategies, and adopting strategies to support social-emotional needs of students, staff, and the community.
