Presented by: Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium
December 9, 2026| 3:00 AM- 5:00 PM ET| Free
Many schools are appropriately prepared for a wide gamut of potential school-based incidents and emergencies that may occur during a regular school day. However, not all school districts have these same emergency plans in place for the wide variety of events that take place outside of regular school hours.

This training will culminate in a scenario-based group activity that requires participants to work together to demonstrate understanding of the planning and mitigation strategies presented in the course. A checklist of after-school preparedness considerations will be provided as a takeaway, to help participants apply these same principles and strategies to after-school events in their own school districts.
The target audience for this training includes: school administrators, school resource officers or safety directors, athletic directors, and rural emergency first responders, such as law enforcement, fire service, and emergency medical services personnel.
Space is limited to the first 75 registrants. If the “Enroll Now” button is not accessible after you have logged in, then you will be prompted to join the waitlist.

Artificial Intelligence has significantly altered the landscape of academic integrity, creating new challenges for educators. This Lunch and Learn will explore how AI is being utilized to generate academic work, the tools and strategies schools are currently using to identify AI-assisted submissions, and some of the limitations associated with these approaches. Participants will examine how students are adapting to detection measures and gain a deeper understanding of the false positives, false negatives, and the importance of establishing a balanced approach to address academic integrity concerns in an AI-driven environment.
The Intersection of School Suicide Risk Screening and Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management Training
Presented by: Texas State University, Texas School Safety Center
December 16, 2026| 9:00 AM- 12:00 PM CT| Free
The Texas School Safety Center, in partnership with Safe and Sound Schools, is hosting The Intersection of School Suicide Risk Screening and Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management training.
The three-hour virtual training explores the shared and distinct aspects of assessing and responding to suicidal and homicidal ideation in students. While both can represent last resort coping behaviors that sometimes require a combined suicide risk and school behavioral threat assessment, the two processes are not interchangeable. The session clarifies when a dual assessment is appropriate, emphasizing that suicide risk screening is often included in school behavioral threat assessment (SBTA) protocols, but an SBTA may not automatically accompany every suicide concern.
Participants will learn how to determine when a combined approach is warranted, what it entails, and how to develop safety plans that address both suicidal and homicidal ideation.
