It is with great pride that I welcome Mark Quinn and Beth LaGuardia Cooper to the Safe and Sound Schools Board of Directors. Each brings a powerful combination of strategic insight, leadership experience, and commitment to using their talents in service for something larger than themselves.

I am thrilled to invite our Safe and Sound community to the International Summit on Threat Assessment for K-12 Schools, a gathering intentionally created to bring together the founders, builders, and leading practitioners of the most widely used school-based behavioral threat assessment models in the world.  

For the past few years on my birthday, I’ve taken a moment to pause and reflect on the work we’ve done together through Safe and Sound Schools and to share a wish for the year ahead.
