Whether there are actually students occupying your local school district’s classrooms, school safety is clearly a top concern across the country – and what school safety has actually meant has evolved greatly over the last few years.
Obviously, physical security and access control are huge, but spending on cyber bullying prevention has also increased – especially this year, when most of the students are online at least part of the time.
Now more than ever, we feel that campus safety is at the helm of the technology integrator — and a new set of guidelines aimed at integrators was just released. The Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (or, “PASS”) has released its newest edition of guidelines that detail best practices for securing school facilities.
On Episode 129 of AV+…
- On this episode of AV+, we speak with NSCA executive director Chuck Wilson, who had a hand in creating those guidelines, to learn about their affiliate program for installers and what new guidelines stand to affect the integration industry most.
Stories Mentioned in this Episode
The Commercial Integrator Podcast
The phrase ‘pro AV’ doesn’t do justice to all of the integration crowd, so we at Commercial Integrator wanted to create a podcast that speaks to all of those areas (and more!) under the umbrella of commercial tech integration.
The host, web editor Adam Forziati, has a background in radio and is looking forward to providing listeners with an entertaining, informative audio forum for all topics affecting the industry.
Podcast Release Schedule
We plan to release a shorter, single-topic episode once every week or two on Fridays (just like this episode). But at the end of each month, we’ll also drop a longer, in-depth episode of the AV podcast with features like Editor’s Desk, CI Monthly News Spotlight, CI’s Project of the Month, and more.
We hope you’ll share your thoughts on Twitter using the hashtag #AVPlusPod !
