Response to school shootings in Connecticut:
The tragic shootings on December 14, 2012 in Newton Connecticut leave all of us as parents, as educators, as students and community members deeply saddened, confused, and shocked. Our hearts go out to all those directly and indirectly impacted. Yet we also share a heightened commitment to ensure that schools continue to become the most welcoming, safe, and supportive settings they can be for children.
As we all seek to make some sense of this event and begin our healing it is important to remember that such acts of targeted violence in schools are rare and that schools are still the safest place for young people. We also remember the importance of schools keeping current emergency plans, practicing those plans, having effective working relationships with response agencies and the value of parents and teachers sharing conversations with their children and each other about the impacts of these events.
Please visit our Emergency Management for Schools Resources page to find new information about responding to and talking about such tragedies as well as the Psychological First Aid For Schools Field Operations Guide released to the public December 17, 2012 and co-authored staff of the Montana Safe Schools Center. Our Emergency Management for Schools webpage also contains additional information about our services.
About Us:
The MSSC was endorsed by Montana's Superintendent of Public Instruction, Linda McCullough, in 2005 and approved by the Montana University System Board of Regents in 2006. However, our organization has been working on numerous school safety grants and initiatives since 1999.
Program collaboration has occurred for and with many agencies including: Montana Office of Public Instruction's Montana Behavioral Initiative, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools (OSDFS), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the U.S. Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) office.

What do our trainings and consultations cost?
MSSC is a non-profit organization entirely funded through grants and consultation fees with P/K-12 schools, university collaborations and community agency partnerships. Our fees are negotiable based on the needs and resources of the school as well as appropriate travel costs. In the majority of cases, we are able to partner with schools through existing grants or in future grant seeking.
Let's discuss how we may assist you.
