Free Active Shooter Training Video for Schools

Posted by John Baker on Feb 21, 2018 10:18:52 AM

A few years ago IU13 partnered with the PA South Central Terrorism Task Force to produce a video on school active shooters. This partnership made this video available to all schools within the SCTT's region and thousands of staff and students have viewed it. If you have seen it before it might be a good time to review it again and for your new staff and students this is a great opportunity to see if for the first time. Here is the link to IU13's YouTube Channel where this video is housed.  VIDEO LINK
