Join us this week us for an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Kenneth Trump, a renowned authority in school safety with a distinguished career spanning more than 40 years. Dr. Trump takes us on a compelling journey from his early days tackling gang issues in Cleveland schools to becoming a pivotal figure in school safety consulting. Learn how his academic background in social services and public administration laid the foundation for his relentless commitment to integrity and practical solutions in school security.
 
 During the episode, Dr Trump shares some interesting insights into the world of school safety including the influence of private equity and aggressive lobbying by security vendors that often lead school administrators astray. Dr Trump also explains why flashy, high-tech security measures might not be the silver bullet they're marketed to be, and why fundamental practices often get neglected. He shares real-life examples and lessons learned from historical tragedies that underscore the importance of human factors, training, and communication over costly gadgets.
 
We also tackle the complexities of school safety funding, especially in a post-COVID world and we discuss the critical roles of various school staff, from bus drivers to custodians, in maintaining a secure environment. 

Towards the end of the show we get into the rising trend of holding parents accountable for school shootings, with recent cases shedding light on this controversial issue. Through our dialogue with Dr. Trump, we emphasize the need for leadership, community involvement, and effective training to foster a balanced and sustainable approach to school safety.
