This session addresses the process and tools needed for school officials to make appropriate decisions about students for whom both physical and emotional safety is a concern.

Presented by Ray Woodyard
10:15AM - 11:30AM	III. Community Relations Be the Bridge With the deterioration of family units across the nation, greater responsibilities are being placed on schools and communities to provide stability and opportunities for success for children of all ages. With these thoughts in mind, it is important to remember that all children are our children! Unfortunately the art of communication is becoming a lost art and individuals are becoming distant as well as disengaged. In this session participants will be presented information regarding the importance of the school being the bridge to bring communities together focusing on families and children. In addition, key points of relationship building will be addressed with a concentration on both successes and failures. As a Safe Schools Coordinator it must be understood that we are the CATALYST. Building strong community relationships takes time and planning!

10:15AM - 11:30AM	VI. Situational Awareness Safety/Security Lessons We Continue to Learn Situational awareness skills are critical when working to enhance levels of school safety and security.
