Looking forward to my session at the #IAEM 𝘙𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘯 6 𝘚𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘶𝘮 this afternoon! 🎤

I’m breaking down how to turn a 5-generation workforce into a leadership powerhouse. We’re moving beyond informal mentoring toward systematic succession planning for more resilient agencies.

Let’s get to work, Region 6! 🌪️🔥

The @goodreads summary of "If I Were A Firefighter," by Thomas Kingsley Troupe states:
If I were a firefighter, I would rush into burning buildings to rescue people. I would blast flames with water and foam. Dream big, and see what fun it is to be a firefighter!

Honored to have the opportunity to speak at the @MPY_Inc training in Lexington today. Hope to see you there!

This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of how schools can create a more resilient and secure environment through a unified, collaborative approach. It emphasizes the critical importance of working in partnership with local police, fire, EMS, and emergency management agencies to build a cohesive safety and security program. Key topics to be covered include protocols and procedures, emergency preparedness, and physical security. The presentation will focus on the principles of the Incident Command System (ICS) and Unified Command, demonstrating how these frameworks are not just for managing active incidents, but are essential for all phases of emergency planning, recovery, and mitigation. By the end of this presentation, attendees will have a practical understanding of how to apply a unified command philosophy to every aspect of school safety, transforming their approach from reactive to proactive.

🚨 School Safety is a Team Effort: Don't Miss This Vital Program! 📺

We often think of school safety as the responsibility of just one group, but the truth is, it requires a unified front. Every second counts in an emergency, and collaboration is the key to ensuring the fastest, most effective response.

This recent Just Thinking episode on @hcattv highlights why seamless cooperation among Police, Fire, EMS, Emergency Management, and School Administration is absolutely critical to keeping our students and staff safe.

[HollistonHubHCAT @hcattv]

Host John Cronin discusses school safety with guests Superintendent of Schools Dr. Susan Kustka, , Police Chief Matt Stone, and Fire Chief Michael Cassidy.

We will delve into how robust, district-driven safety programs are crucial for preventing injuries in science activities. Featuring a real-world case study from the Holliston (MA) High School in October 2017, this session highlights the vital role of comprehensive policies and procedures.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: Equip your district with vital safety program knowledge to prevent incidents and ensure a secure learning environment.

Looking forward to connecting with fellow educators and leaders focused on safety in science!
