End-of-year events like graduations and large campus gatherings bring increased attendance, outside visitors, and more complex logistics.
In this webinar, hear directly from school leaders Paula Summers, Clay County Schools (FL), and Jason Davis, School District of Albany (NY), as they share how they are preparing for high-attendance events, from managing visitor check-in and access to coordinating staff across campus. We’ll also touch on how schools are thinking about communication and response if something unexpected occurs.

In her current position, Paula has led the establishment of a consistent volunteer management system across all 42 district schools and has trained front office staff and volunteer coordinators on the effective understanding and implementation of these procedures. Under her leadership, the district now supports more than 13,000 registered volunteers, including over 2,000 who have completed Level 2 background clearance. She and her team were also one of the very first districts to pilot our new EventSafe solution for managing large school events and has seen great success since implementing. /p>
