A Consultative Approach to K-12 Security: Beyond Compliance to Comprehensive Safety
As security threats evolve and regulatory requirements tighten, K-12 schools face increasing pressure to enhance safety while navigating funding constraints, changing regulatory environments and complex technology ecosystems. Now more than ever, schools need a strategic, consultative approach to security – one that prioritizes ongoing assessments, technology standardization and regulatory compliance. This approach provides a cohesive security framework rather than relying on reactive, one-off solutions.
This session will explore how schools can move beyond one-size-fits-all security measures toward a strategic, needs-based approach that enhances safety, compliance and operational efficiency. It will also address how security professionals can leverage proven strategies to support schools in making informed decisions.
Key takeaways include:
- The role of consultative security in helping schools address challenges without unnecessary costs or regulatory missteps
- Best practices for long-term security planning
- How to accurately evaluate the true cost of security investments
