Listen Later

Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley sit with Paresa Noble on practical school safety as low hanging fruit. Dave shares insights on algorithms and the gray middle. Paresa describes how Uvalde led to Shield Our Schools and practical entry-delay measures. They break down costs, common security moves, controversial products, under-resourced schools, engaging school boards, overcoming resistance, and mental health as root cause.
