SAFE ALL
AROUND
ybersecurity” and “mass shooters” were probably
not on your syllabus as an education major in college
were they? Unfortunately, those subjects have become
priority number one for educators, administrators, and
parents everywhere. This month, contributing writer
Tara Smith takes a deep dive into the insights and
resources available for securing, or at least attempting to secure,
students both virtually and physically (Safety First, p 20).
Another harsh reality—there are no simple solutions. When
it comes to cybersecurity, she writes: “Unlike other industries,
which have the means to invest in sophisticated programs to
protect against cyber threats, the budget constraints most districts face mean that there are
fewer resources for IT security.” And when it comes to experimenting with new technologies like
facial recognition, in an attempt to better monitor school entrances and hallways, more general
concerns are being raised. What’s worse—the rare chance
that students would be victims to a maniac or the good
chance that they will be constantly surveilled in some sort
of Orwellian police state? We won’t try and answer that
question! What we will do is point to some starting points
on establishing policy and developing a culture in your

distraction from learning and well being.
