The National Summit on K-12 School Safety and Security
The National Summit on K-12 School Safety and Security, hosted by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), brought federal, state, and local school leaders together to share actionable recommendations that enhance safe and supportive learning environments in kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) schools. Through expert panels and keynote addresses by leaders in the field, the Summit explored current threats and issues in school safety and considers research-informed strategies for addressing security challenges.K-12 schools and school systems face a complex set of security risks and
contend with dynamic and evolving threats ranging from acts of targeted violence to cyberattacks. Schools also have unique needs, considerations, and challenges when it comes to safety and security, underscoring the importance of a collaborative, holistic, and actionable approach to the issue.
The Summit aimed to support the safety and security of our schools by:
- Fostering a nationwide dialogue by bringing together stakeholders for exchange, discussion, and connection
- Facilitating action by sharing resources, products, and tools to support schools in implementing and strenghtening their security postures
- Equipping stakeholders with training and expertise to apply recognized best practices and research in the context of their specific communities, venues and schools
The Summit was presented in a virtual format on November 1-3, 2022.
