This article is intended to spark conversation between school officials concerning safety at school board meetings, in an earnest effort to prevent tragedies similar to the event on December 14, 2010 in Panama City, Florida. The article encourages school officials to 1) examine school board meeting facilities through a lens of the four phases of emergency management, 2) assess the current level of preventative elements present in the facilities through design, furnishings, and security technologies, and 3) prepare meeting facilities and school personnel through training.
