• Should we invest in panic buttons for every classroom & office?
• How does our school district handle emergencies?
• How can we make our schools safer?
• How are we addressing mental health issues in our student population?
• Are mental health issues tied to safety. If so, what can we do about it?
• What measures will/should be taken to prepare for post traumatic stress in the event of an emergency?
• What about earthquakes? Terrorism?
• What are the red flags/warnings of antisocial, depressive or hostile behaviors in children
• What are the available resources to students and families?
• Is an anti-bullying campaign enough? Is it working?
