The PASS Guidelines underwent significant changes in Revision 7. After evaluating what schools and districts have already accomplished in promoting a safe and secure school environment, the PASS technical committee reviewed and revised the guidelines to focus on the ever-changing landscape of school safety and security.
This session will guide team leaders through Revision 7 of the PASS Guidelines, including key changes across access control, video surveillance, communication and detection, and alarm components. Presenters will also discuss integrating system components to establish a holistic approach to school security across a given district.
A companion white paper will be released with this webinar.

Category – Lessons Learned.
Ever since Columbine, school safety has rivaled curriculum in importance for school board members and administrators across the country. However, as mass casualty events continue to make news more than a quarter century later, we have to ask if we retain – and, more importantly, are implementing – the lessons learned? And how can these lessons help schools handle mass casualty events, other emergencies, discipline incidents such as fights and gang activities, and conflict resolution?
PASS subject matter experts will review the history of school violence and discuss the positive impact these lessons have on daily school activities. These experts will also examine the challenges of consistently implementing and maintaining risk-assessment-based school safety standards and some available technology for school security administrators.
A companion white paper will be released with this webinar.

Digital transformation and unified solutions are here to stay, keeping cybersecurity threats to schools on the rise. As part of the changes to the PASS Guidelines, there is a new layer for Digital Infrastructure.
The webinar will dive into the details of current cyber threats to schools and how the PASS tier continuum can assist schools and districts in a strategic approach to cybersecurity. The session will also cover the data networking best practices and provide a basic understanding of the proper ways to connect devices as safely and securely as possible.
