Last week, Lt. Arline Lagasse and Chief Chandler attended the 2024 National School Safety Conference in Orlando. They were among over 1,200 attendees representing all 50 states and eight countries. It was another excellent opportunity for them to attend a variety of critical school safety presentations delivered by school safety subject matter experts from Florida and around the country, learn the latest best practices, network with school administrators and school police officers, make new professional contacts and examining the latest innovations in school safety technology. Once again, this opportunity reaffirmed and validated that FSDB is maintaining high school safety standards and adhering to the national best practices. In many cases, FSDB exceeds what many other schools are striving to achieve in school safety.
"Rest assured, FSDB is in a great place with our school safety." shared Chief Chandlee
