How Schools Are Building Safer Classrooms

September 29 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time

A new school year brings familiar challenges: tighter budgets, evolving state and federal expectations, and the ongoing work of preparing staff to support students with challenging behaviors. In this Safety-Care Live webinar, [Names] from [Organizations] join QBS for a candid conversation about how their districts and programs are planning for the year ahead. 

 

You'll hear how these leaders are making the case for behavioral safety training in a constrained budget environment, how they're responding to regulatory scrutiny and reporting requirements, and what it actually takes to get staff confident and consistent before the first crisis of the year, not after it. Whether you're a special education director, building administrator, or clinical leader, you'll leave with practical strategies you can apply to your own back-to-school planning.
