From the desk of Jon Akers, Executive Director of Kentucky Center for School Safety
Dear SSCs and School Security Marshal Compliance Officers:
Very briefly, I want to invite you to a networking option in your area. We have scheduled six short lunch meetings around the state. These conversations are opportunities to meet with other School Safety Coordinators, School Security Marshal Compliance Officers, and others in attendance to talk through issues, concerns, and situations you are facing as part of your monumental responsibilities.
All meetings will begin at 10:00 local time with lunch/continued conversation and out by 12:00/12:15. Dan Orman, KCSS Training Coordinator, will be present for every meeting and is enthusiastic about meeting with you in various parts of Kentucky. We would ask that you RSVP so that we have enough lunches/drinks ordered. We are looking forward to these conversations!
Alicia Lombardi will reach out from KSBA with a simple RSVP tool (you are welcome to attend more than one if you’re in a “border area”). Here is the schedule of SSC/OSSSM Lunch Conversations:
