Expert Planning, Proven Leadership—Simplifying School Safety Through Practical Solutions

With decades of experience in emergency healthcare systems, EMS leadership, Fire Operations and planning, and military operations, I simplify school safety planning by focusing on people and processes—not just systems. As your trusted partner, I’ll help you create practical, effective plans that work in real life, building safer schools and stronger communities

You’re responsible for school safety…..

but you didn’t sign up to be a safety expert.

That’s where we come in. We help Texas schools move from uncertainty to confidence—with real strategies, not just paperwork.

Maybe you’ve got a big evaluation coming up—a District Vulnerability Assessment (DVA), your three-year safety and security audit, or a major School Board Safety review.

How confident are you that your Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)—with all its annexes and appendices—is both ready and realistic?

Are you certain your crisis communication strategy can keep parents and the community informed under pressure? Is your reunification procedure more than a binder—are staff trained and confident in using it?

Now take it a step further:

If someone’s life depended on your plans, processes, and training, would you be sure they’d hold up?

Or would you be hoping everything works—because no one’s noticed the gaps yet?

If that last section felt a bit heavy, let’s look at it another way:

Imagine you’re defending your school’s popular band or football program in front of the School Board tomorrow. The person stepping in to lead the program is doing their best—but it’s not their area of expertise.

Did they have the right knowledge and resources to create a realistic, effective plan?

Have they coordinated all the moving parts and practiced thoroughly?

Or did they just “check the box” with something borrowed and untested?

The same questions apply to your school’s safety plans.

Are they realistic, coordinated, and practiced—or are they a set of untested templates collecting dust?

If these questions give you pause, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

At School Safety and Preparedness Consulting, we help Texas districts take the guesswork out of school safety planning. Whether it’s evaluating your current readiness, preparing for an audit, or improving training across departments, we’re here to help.
