Abstract: Security is at the forefront of nearly every head of school’s mind, not to mention the minds of parents, board members, grandparents, etc. The response to the unending considerations for what to do feel endless and overwhelming. This session will be facilitated by Peter Baur with the goal of bringing to light the best practices and resources that schools are currently using and or considering. Peter will review Faith Christian’s security journey which a national law enforcement officer identified as being robust and thorough. Many schools have likely done more and are better equipped, and this session will work to bring those to the group attending.
Peter Baur has been involved in independent education for nearly 40 years and has held roles in several environments, including start-up classical Christian schools and “elite” private schools with over 150 years of history.
