Training Training is available through the Center on topics ranging from school building safety assessments to the implementation of peer mediation programs. The Center is available for presentations and in-service trainings upon request. In addition, the Center schedules periodic regional trainings. In order to provide the best and most current information on school safety and violence prevention, the Center for Safe Schools has contracted with local, state and national experts. For that reason, all training sessions have designated opportunities for networking with colleagues to share best practices and information.
Evaluations continually reinforce the desire for opportunities to network with colleagues.

The Center for Safe Schools employs a diverse and well-qualified staff to respond to the more than 250 requests for technical assistance it receives each month. Center staff have backgrounds in law, social services, and education.
