Paul Timm, PSP, Vice President, Facility Engineering Associates P.C.: Administrators are bombarded with potential solutions to make schools safer. Debates rage over everything from arming staff and adding classroom security devices to purchasing metal detectors and requiring students to carry clear backpacks. This presentation will explore today’s hot topics.
Theresa Campbell, President, Safer Schools Together: One of the most common issues currently facing schools is a student social media post on Snapchat or Instagram that says, “Don’t come to school tomorrow, there is going to be a school shooting.” How do you assess these threats, determine the initial level of risk and immediate risk-reducing interventions?

This session will provide the most up-to-date information on the current trends in adolescent drug abuse in Illinois.
