2024 National Summit on K-12 School Safety and Security

25 September - 26 September 2024

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) will host the 2024 National Summit on K-12 School Safety and Security on September 25 and 26.

This two-day, virtual event brings together K-12 school leaders and practitioners to discuss and share actionable recommendations that enhance safe and supportive learning environments. The Summit is designed to foster a nationwide dialogue on some of the most critical school safety issues, as well as equip school stakeholders and personnel with resources, training and best practices to apply in their local school settings and communities.

The 2024 Summit will feature six sessions, each addressing a timely school safety topic. Sessions will include a subject matter expert overview of the issue followed by a panel of K-12 leaders and practitioners discussing their firsthand experience. This format is intended to provide both expert context and real-world perspectives so that attendees gain a deeper understanding of a particular school safety issue and how they may be able to address it in their unique school communities. The event will also include keynote addresses by leaders in the school safety and security fields.
