Audience Max:

Time:

8:30 AM to 4:00 PM

Location:

Sheraton Bay Tower, Main Ballroom A

Synopsis:

Digital Threat Assessment was developed through the need to keep pace with the ever-evolving technology challenges that face our students currently. These challenges have entered the education domain with force and have overwhelmed school district staff throughout the world. The goal is to give attendees a stronger understanding of the current social media world, tools to be able to proactively identify student safety concerns, and provide strategies for dealing with online situations as they arise.

All aspects of school safety and threats to schools now involve a social media or online component and we need to be prepared. Successful threat and risk assessments can only occur if we have a solid understanding of all data needed to appropriately assess an individuals’ potential for violence. In 2019, an overall assessment of risk cannot be determined without looking at social media and online activity. It is imperative to understand the tools and methods available to you to identify online threat related behavior. Real life case examples will be used from our subject matter expert work across North America and a significant portion of the day will be spent doing hands-on searching exercises through the most current social media sites and applications.

Conference room lobby area

ISSI staff and welcome from San Diego’s Chief of Police, David Nisleit

Jeff Kaye, President of School Safety Operations

We’ve taken our attendees to the edge of best practices in school safety in past conferences. Now it is time to move beyond, and explore ways to prevent threats to the safety of our students and staff instead of just responding to them. This motivational presentation by a recognized expert in school safety will look at what is required for schools to do to keep them safe, but more importantly, will also look at what is not required. Proactive measures to address safe school culture and climate are just as important as securing our schools. Target hardening our schools is necessary, but the best safety products on the market are worthless if we don’t also target harden the mind. Safety products can be expensive, but we can change mindsets for free…

This presentation will benefit anyone from the education or law enforcement industries who are involved with safe school culture and climate. Collaboration between law enforcement, mental health, and education will be discussed in this presentation. Funding for school safety programs will also be a presentation topic. Attendees will gain valuable and realistic takeaways they can immediately begin implementing at their schools to help keep them safe.

Representative of St. Gobain “Solar Guard

John Callery, DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC)

There is one degree of separation between each of us knowing someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol. This is especially true in today’s opioid crisis. Much of this activity starts with school age children, and high school age teens are considered a high risk age group for drug and alcohol use and abuse. This is where our education efforts must focus to address the problem. In order to educate our students on this problem, we must first understand it. How we got to this stage with the opioid crisis, how drugs like heroin and fentanyl are affecting our youth and our society in general, trafficking methods and how drugs are actually coming into our country, and what drugs we’re seeing used or abused with teens will be topics of this presentation. Many states are now legalizing marijuana, but it’s not just marijuana being sold. These are actually products containing high amounts of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), so it’s not the “weed of the 70’s

Presenter:

Officer William Chapman, Newtown , CT. Police Department

The presenter will talk through some realities of youth culture, and ways to think beyond the physical security of schools to promote a better social/emotional environment.  He will work through the B.L.A.S.T acronym (Bored, Lonely, Angry, Scared, Tired) and talk about ways to teach in a trauma-informed classroom.  Topic matter will be presented through the lens of relational policing and a strong relationship between educators and officers, and the "Right People Right Mindset" philosophy.

Dan Wold, Superintendent Eureka NV. School District

There is an increased interest in the role that School Climate plays in school safety. In this session, we will explore the links between achievement, safety and climate, and what simple, proven steps we can all take in that regard. We will look at what the research tells us, and Dan will share his experiences as a superintendent and as a member of the Nevada State School Emergency Preparedness Team. Participants will leave with actionable knowledge on how to improve student and staff safety at little or no cost.

Light appetizers, soft drinks, wine, and beer will be provided.

Please see ISSA staff for recommendations on local dining and areas of interest for the evening. There are several restaurants on Harbor Island in walking distance in addition to the restaurant at the resort.

Crystal Sargent, CEO Invested Advisors | Media and Public Relations

We all can function at the highest levels when we are accountable for the ordinary.

There is nothing like a crisis that reveals true leadership; that is when it is tested and proven. Crisis situations are not the time to design your playbook on what you will do or what you will say to an entrusting community. Effective communication serves leaders well in the day-to-day management of internal and external factors and relationships but is especially important when faced with unforeseen emergencies. Schools have emergency plans but communication planning is often overlooked in the planning process. This presentation will walk you through strategic design and development of crisis communication planning as a function of your emergency management plan, and steps you can take to be better positioned to inform students, staff, parents and local stakeholders of potential or realized hazards as well best practices for collaborative efforts with law enforcement and how to engage with the media from local and national outlets.
