Dear supporters –
We are approaching the end of an uncertain and unprecedented year. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, school districts across the nation closed and students took up remote virtual learning.
But throughout it all, Stand with Parkland – The National Association of Families for Safe Schools remained dedicated to ensuring students and staff have the resources they need to stay safe both in the classroom and online.
Our uniquely inclusive, nonpartisan approach has allowed us to work with lawmakers at all levels of government and on both sides of the aisle. Because of our efforts, we have seen practical steps taken toward safety in schools across the country.
Here are a few highlights from the year:
*
We
participated
in
the
U.S.
Secret
Service's
National
Threat
Assessment
Center
training
sessions
on
using
Behavioral
Threat
Assessment
to
proactively
prevent
school
violence.
Over
4,000
mental
health,
school,
and
law
enforcement
professionals
were
trained
on
how
to
use
this
vital
tool
to
get
kids
the
help
they
need
before
violence
strikes.
*
We
helped
create
SchoolSafety.gov
[[link removed]]
,
a
one-stop-shop
for
those
charged
with
the
safety
of
America’s
schools
to
find
the
information
they
need.
*
We
partnered
with
Safer
Schools
Together
to
train
over
75
people
from
schools
and
federal,
state,
and
local
law
enforcement
agencies
to
accurately
identify
online
threats
and
keep
students
and
teachers
safe.
*
We
participated
in
roundtable
discussions
to
bring
the
federal
School
Safety
Clearinghouse
to
life.
This
collection
of
school
safety
“best
practices”
was
first
envisioned
by
one
of
our
founding
members,
Max
Schachter.
*
We
consulted
with
the
Departments
of
Health
and
Human
Services,
Justice,
Homeland
Security,
and
Education,
which
came
together
as
the
President
of
the
United
States
focused
the
power
of
his
office
on
ensuring
the
safety
of
American
students
and
teachers.
*
We
enhanced
and
added
to
our
Resources
[[link removed]]
page
to
allow
you
to
find
information
regarding
a
variety
of
topics,
research,
and
reports
regarding
improving
campus
security,
mental
health
screening
and
support
programs,
and
responsible
firearms
ownership
all
in
one
place.
COVID-19 has disrupted nearly every facet of American life – including our schools . And we, like many others, shifted plans in the wake of the pandemic. The generous support of our donors allows us to continue our nonpartisan work for school safety. Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, an international day of charitable giving where anyone, anywhere can make a difference.
We are asking for your help. Will you make a difference by supporting our mission to make America’s schools safer and contribute to Stand with Parkland? [[link removed]]
