Established by PBK in 2018.
PBK established the council in 2018. Its founding participants included school district police chiefs, school resource officers, safety directors, law enforcement agencies, and first responders.
More than 130 participants contributed to the recommendations published in Together for Tomorrow.
The recommendations address facilities, law enforcement, and administration. Districts can use them to assess their campuses and develop local plans.
PBK convened the council and published its work as a philanthropic resource for school districts and communities.
The council will reconvene on October 20 at Waller ISD ESC to review school-safety practices and develop updated recommendations.
