Share with me: When does a school safety practice come to life?

Happy to announce my first publication from my dissertation research. In this special issue in Leading & Managing, I examined how school safety leaders used different types of imagination to bring school safety practices to life.

Thank you!

@vea.bsky.social, could never have gotten here without you! It takes compassionate, thoughtful people to help us do the hard things in life.

Excited for my recent co-written, open-access teaching case article on hoax school shootings! #schoolsafety

Let's discuss: What's a lesser-known, everyday school emergency that educators and leaders respond to?

Do I make the joke about it being a constantly evolving conversation about the efficacy of school safety tech?

School shooting data trends with 4 weeks of classes left in 2024 Less than 2% chance of the 2024 total exceeding the record of 349 incidents last year. This is the first downward trend since 2015.

To be clear, I’m not catastrophizing. Schools, districts, and states need to look at where they’re receiving #schoolsafety monies. DOJ for SROs? Ed dept for mental health? SAMHSA?

What’s your backup? Community partnerships? Wrap-around services?

Good question and I’m no expert on trends. I suspect that if the EAS tone was a trend, it was on social media, and therefore not a flagging under the FCC. But if people used it in artistic pieces and a news segment on tv or radio was about it, they would not have been able to air the full piece.

It's Friday, and our last day of programming at #UCEA2024!

At 1:20pm, join us for "Demystifying the Academic Job Search..." in San Gabriel C.

These parent prosection are certainly warranted, but I am very skeptical they would affect the likelihood of future tragedies. In many of these cases, parents are in such denial that they likely can't imagine their kid could become a school shooter, much less being prosecuted for it

The camera loves you at all times and in all ways just to watch you fall down a flight of stairs?

More seriously, they’re an over surveillance that imposes certain behavioral norms merely by being present.

Great day at @uceagsc.bsky.social Grad Student Symposium! What a great way to discuss research and have dedicated feedback.

Follow up: the FCC apparently increases fines over time for repeat offenders of using the EAS inappropriately.

You’ve got this!

@uceagsc.bsky.social and @aeraedresearch.bsky.social what about adding conference presentation shares?

Very excited to present on Thursday!

We are almost at capacity in this starter pack! Everyone now left to be added will be added to Education Scholars Part II! If I didn’t add you to first one & you want to be added reply to to post!

Howdy. Would love to be added if there’s still room. #EducationScholars I study school safety practices and policy implementation.

Bluesky academics, let’s get to know each other! Quote & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about.

1. What schools can learn from shooting after action reports?
2. The school safety organization ecosystem.

Who’s studying or researching school safety? #quant or #qual? #edupolicy?

Lastly, there are similar laws such as the Geneva Convention banning using a red cross on a white background to only identify authentic medical services. For example, @concernedape.bsky.social fixed an inadvertent violation in an early Stardew Valley patch.

Interestingly, the FCC rule applies to sounds that are similar enough to the EAS that they may accidentally cause a panic. It's not about the boundaries of the law but the potential for misinterpretation and ultimate outcomes.

Second, decreasing situational awareness. The Robb Elementary School shooting House report found that over use of the lockdown drill notification for community bailout incidents led to decreased overall crisis concerns. www.texastribune.org/2022/07/17/l...

Today I learned that "no person may transmit ... a recording or simulation" of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) sound outside of an authentic emergency notification or system test. This is important because of yelling fire in a crowded theater AND the boy who cried wolf. www.fcc.gov/enforcement/...

The Onion buys Alex Jones's Infowars at auction Infowars was auctioned as part of a defamation ruling after Jones falsely called the Sandy Hook School shooting a hoax.

It's satisfying that the company that publishes the same article after every school shooting, @theonion.com, purchased the company that fueled school shooting conspiracy theories. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Would love to!

Sorry you experienced that. Take care of your kids and yourself tonight.
