Our guest will navigate through a series of challenging topics, beginning with the uphill battle parents face when advocating for their children's safety with school boards. As we delve into the heart-wrenching reality of active shooter situations, discover how law enforcement executes lockdown procedures and the profound emotional impact it leaves in its wake. But what if traditional lockdowns aren't the only recourse? Join us to explore alternative options available to teachers, including the stark 'Run, Hide, Fight' approach, challenging the conventional wisdom. Moving to the dark narrative of the Parkland High School gunfire incident, witness the aftermath and understand the empowering yet daunting journey of teachers endowed with decision-making options. Explore the broader implications of Options-based training, shedding light on both its promises and pitfalls for teachers facing the grim reality of an active shooting scenario.

Scrutinize the methods and consequences of active shooter drills, weighing the enduring pros and cons that linger long after the simulated threat has dissipated. Addressing an urgent need, we question why there's a pressing demand for a swift, practical guidebook, providing individuals with insights into navigating the chaos of an active shooting.
