True school safety is about more than tools or technology — it’s about mission, people, and the ability to work together across disciplines in an increasingly complex, digital world.
In this episode of The Sound Off on School Safety, Michele Gay is joined by Antoinette King, a nationally recognized leader at the intersection of physical security, cybersecurity, and risk management, for a grounded and forward-looking conversation on what real school safety looks like today. Antoinette shares why safety strategies can’t succeed in isolation, and why listening, teamwork, and mission-driven thinking are essential to making them work in real school environments.
Drawing on her expertise in both physical and digital security, Antoinette offers insight into how human behavior shapes the effectiveness of safety systems, how integrated thinking can help schools move beyond silos, and what it takes to build safer, more connected communities in a rapidly evolving risk landscape.
Whether you’re a school leader, educator, IT or security professional, or safety partner, this conversation offers practical perspective and clear guidance for strengthening safety through collaboration, alignment, and shared purpose.
