Save the Date for the Ohio School Safety Summit 

Public and private companies can be great partners for school districts in improving the safety of their facilities as well as providing resources to students and staff. This conference provides opportunities for OP3 members to network with school officials and share their expertise and products.

The Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) – Ohio’s new comprehensive, statewide office focused exclusively on school safety - will be hosting the first annual School Safety Summit June 10-12, 2020 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine created the OSSC to assist local schools and law enforcement in preventing, preparing for, and responding to threats and acts of violence, including self-harm, through a holistic, solutions-based approach.

The free summit will provide an opportunity for school safety, public safety, mental health professionals, and others to share best practices, training, and resources with schools and community leaders across the state.

Conference presentations and training opportunities will include experts in each of the following critical areas: Physical security; Mental health; School climate; Critical incident response; and Threat assessment. 

Who should attend the Conference? The OSSC welcomes participants with a passion for improving school safety to attend the conference. The subject matter will be particularly relevant to educators, transportation staff, school administrators, school resource officers, first responders, mental health professionals, state agency partners, elected officials, and other school safety and security professionals. 

There will be an opportunity for vendors and organizations to exhibit their products and resources for school safety. This opportunity will be on a first come first served basis.

Additional information will be released as it becomes available. For questions regarding the School Safety Summit, please email OhioSchoolSafetySummit@dps.ohio.gov or click here to visit the website.
