As another school year begins, I want to take a moment to welcome you back on behalf of our entire Safe and Sound Schools team.

Especially Safe, a signature program developed by Safe and Sound Schools, empowers school safety teams to teach and train in ways that ensure everybody is prepared and protected in an emergency.

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, I want to take a moment and celebrate the amazing work being done by our Bright Futures Communities! For those who may not be familiar, Bright Futures is a signature program of Safe and Sound Schools.

As part of our ongoing mission to support school crisis prevention, response, and recovery, we're committed to keeping our community informed, engaged, and supported with the latest resources for comprehensive school safety.
