From Standards to Strategy: A Unified PASS + ASIS Approach to Safer Schools
Description

School safety leaders are often handed two powerful but separate playbooks: the K-12-specific, tiered guidance of the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS) and the enterprise risk-management discipline of ASIS International standards. This session shows how the two work better together—using ASIS as the strategic, risk-based backbone and PASS as the practical application layer for schools. Attendees will see how to move beyond a checklist mindset toward an integrated framework that aligns physical security, technology, training, and culture across every layer of a campus. You'll leave with a clear approach for assessing where your district stands today and a shared language for turning recognized standards into an actionable safety strategy.
