A safe school environment is critical to student learning.

Keynote Speakers:
Day 1: FBI Special Agent Andre Simons, speaking on “Pre-Attack Behaviors of Active Shooters”
Andre Simons is a Supervisory Special Agent assigned to the FBI’s Critical Incident Response Group, Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), Quantico, Virginia, and supports National Security, Counterterrorism, and Threat Assessment investigations. SSA Simons specializes in threat assessment and targeted violence, including active shooters, campus attackers, workplace violence, and the analysis of threatening communications. He is a Certified Threat Manager™ through the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (ATAP) and assisted in developing the certification exam currently in use.
Day 2: Nicole Hockley, Founder and Communications Director of Sandy Hook Promise, will present “Preventing Tomorrow’s Shooting: The Sandy Hook Promise”
After the tragic death of her son Dylan, who was one of 20 first-graders killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Nicole dedicated herself to working for change so that other families might be spared the pain of losing a loved one to gun violence. That commitment led her to Sandy Hook Promise, where she directs the organization’s communications, outreach efforts and serves as a spokesperson. Nicole has become an important advocate and is focused on bringing people together in honest dialogue and searching for innovative solutions in the areas of mental wellness, school safety, community connectedness and gun safety.
