About the Webinar

Join Michele Gay, Founder and Executive Director of Safe and Sound Schools, Mo Canady, Executive Director of NASRO, and other experts from the Averted School Violence (ASV) community for a 60-minute session designed to help school safety stakeholders learn from averted acts of violence. 

This session will cover: 

  • 10 Years of the Averted School Violence Database: Discover the origins of the ASV database, recent enhancements, and newly added averted cases. 

  • Real Cases of Averted Violence: Each averted incident offers critical lessons for school safety professionals, law enforcement, and educators. Learn from real-world examples to identify what worked, the challenges faced, and how others can apply these insights in their own schools and communities. 

  • How You Can Contribute: By sharing your case , you can help build a growing body of knowledge that establishes best practices, prevents future tragedies, and strengthens our collective understanding of effective school safety strategies.

Actionable Lessons for the K-12 Community 

Your insights can make a difference. 

Every averted incident offers a critical lesson for school safety professionals, law enforcement, and educators. The ASV Database collects and reviews real-world examples to identify what worked, what challenges emerged, and how others can apply those insights in their own schools and communities.   

By sharing your examples of averted cases ahead of the webinar, yours could be featured during the discussion! Share incidents from your community, join the discussion, and help us continue building safer, stronger schools.
