The event is free to attend and will include keynote addresses, panel discussions, and one-on-one interviews with government, private sector, and school safety leaders.

Sessions will feature the latest research, resources, programs, and guidance on the following topics:

  • Cybersecurity
  • Online Safety
  • Positive School Climate
  • Recovery from Emergency Events
  • School Safety Planning and Resourcing
  • Student Mental Health
  • Violence Prevention and Early Intervention
  • Whole Student Support

CISA said the summit will be particularly relevant to K–12 school and district administrators; principals and superintendents; school-based law enforcement; teachers and school staff; mental health practitioners; first responders; federal, state, and local government partners; and other school safety and security professionals.
