In this episode of Where Rural Matters, we sit down with Brian Stroman, Superintendent of Bloomberg ISD, to break down the District Vulnerability Assessment (DVA) process. Brian shares firsthand insights on what a DVA is, why it’s important for every school district, and how he and the Region 8 safety team have helped over 25 districts prepare — at no cost. Learn how your district can be proactive, what to expect from auditors, and why safety goes beyond security protocols. This is essential listening for school leaders across Texas.
