Dear supporters,
This month, our founding families mourned the loss of our loved ones and the nation commemorated the 17 lives drastically cut short [[link removed]] on February 14, 2018.
But it was also a month of action, as Stand with Parkland – The National Association of Families for Safe Schools worked to launch and share critical school safety resources and met with elected leaders to discuss our nonpartisan, inclusive message. Please take notice of the positive change taking place when it comes to the safety of students and staff in America’s schools. Your voice is being heard and you are a critical part of this change.
Stand with Parkland is excited to share SchoolSafety.gov and the new Federal School Safety Clearinghouse of best practices to help deter violence on our nation’s school campuses. Every school in America can do things today to make their schools safer, and Stand with Parkland is proud to have championed this excellent resource that is a one-stop shop for those interested in improving their schools.

Stand with Parkland also sponsored a digital threat assessment training for nearly 70 education and law enforcement professionals in partnership with Safer Schools Together and the city of Coral Springs, FL. We are glad to welcome the U.S. Secret Service to Miami and continue our collaboration with the National Threat Assessment Center as they promote a new report to help educators, law enforcement, mental health professionals, and others learn how to identify people who need help. Prevention must be the goal if we hope to stem the tide of violence in our nation’s schools.

In our quest for safe schools in our nation, we must all put aside political bias and come together as an American family to find solutions. We applaud President Donald Trump for focusing the power of his office as well as that of the Departments of Education, Homeland Security, Justice, and Health and Human Services as they worked together to create the Federal Clearinghouse for School Safety and SchoolSafety.gov.
