For school administrators, getting ready for the new academic year means making sure school is safe for everyone.
But what’s the best approach?
Are metal detectors and armed security guards the best way to ensure safety? Or does building a more supportive school culture keep students safer?

Guests:
- Ginger Blackwell, PhD, associate dean, Northern Kentucky University College of Education
