The National School Boards Association annual convention is always one of the highlights of my year.  Listening to, and talking with, our nation’s school board members inspires me as I hear about their commitment to school safety.

James Chavez, Secretary and board member of Socorro Consolidated Schools in New Mexico:

and

Kerry Young, Vice Chair, Warren County Board of Education, Bowling Green, KY:

What does your school board do to enhance school safety, security, and emergency preparedness?
