What you’ll take away
A full day. Practical answers to questions every Ohio district is wrestling with.
Safety experts and ESCNEO leaders present, then a candid peer session before we close. Bring the question you need answered—we built the schedule so there's room to ask.
The state of safety in Ohio
Where Ohio's requirements sit today, what districts are being asked to prove, and where the bar is moving.
One platform vs. vendor sprawl
How districts are consolidating critical safety technology—what they kept, what they cut, and what they saved.
A unified approach to behavior
Moving student behavior and well-being into the same connected system as safety and compliance.
Safety as a system, not a checkbox
Why compliance is more than a button—and how to move toward a culture of preparedness and prevention.
Know the Grants
Learn about ways your district can benefit from the STOP grant project.
