Local Teachers & Administrators Gather For Safety Symposium

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

Over the last several years–in Beaver County and across the nation–school safety has become a rising concern. With more access and platforms for kids to potentially do something dangerous without repercussion, the stories about cyberbullying, guns in school, and overall disruption have increased and become more rapid.

Thus brought together dozens of school teachers, administrators, and local law enforcement officers for the Safe School Symposium at the Community College of Beaver County Learning Resources Center on February 18. During the presentation, those in attendance went thoroughly through the step-by-step process of handling these dangerous situations in which school students can use various platforms (like social media) to create danger and mischief.

The meeting was spearheaded by a panel of several different County leaders, including Freedom Superintendent Jeff Fuller, Beaver County DA David J. Lozier, and Western Beaver Superintendent Dr. Robert Postupac (also the chair of the CCBC Board of Trustees). The meeting was also attended by several sponsors; among them Frye Transportation, CCBC, and New Horizon School.
