First Annual School Safety Summit will be held June 10-12 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center 

Public and private companies can be great partners for school districts in improving the safety of their facilities as well as 
providing resources to students and staff. This conference provides opportunities for OP3 members to network with school 
officials and share  their expertise and products. The Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) – Ohio’s new comprehensive, 
statewide office focused exclusively on school safety - will be hosting the first annual School Safety Summit 
June 10-12 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. 

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine created the OSSC to assist local schools and law enforcement in preventing, preparing for, 

and responding to threats and acts of violence, including self-harm, through a holistic, solutions-based approach. The
 free summit will provide an opportunity for school safety, public safety, mental health professionals, and others to share 
best practices, training, and resources with schools and community leaders across the state.
Conference presentations and training opportunities will include experts in each of the following critical areas:

• Physical security

• Mental health

• School climate

• Critical incident response

• Threat assessment

Who Should Attend this Conference? 

The OSSC welcomes participants with a passion for improving school safety to attend the conference. The subject matter will be particularly 
relevant to educators, transportation staff, school administrators, school resource officers, first responders, mental health professionals, state 
agency partners, elected officials, and other school safety and security professionals. There will be an opportunity for vendors and organizations 
to exhibit their products and resources for school safety. This opportunity will be on a first come first served basis. Additional information will
 be released as it becomes available.
