After analyzing numerous school shooting episodes over the last decade, the FBI has updated its recommendations for classroom safety.
Now, since the tragic shootings of elementary students in Newtown, Connecticut, trainings in these new procedures has been accelerated in school districts across the country.

Dr. Barbara Marinak, Associate Professor of Education, held a workshop for Mount education students explaining the new FBI recommendations for classroom safety and what impact they will have on our students and their classrooms.
