Texas School Safety Center to Teach Districts About Digital Threats
Social media has become a huge asset in identifying potential threats to schools.
The Texas School Safety Center along with Safer Schools Together will be traveling throughout the state to teach districts what to look for on social media.
Joe Munoz, program manager for school-based law enforcement training at the Texas School Safety Center, told NBCDFW the two organizations will be hosting digital threat assessment workshops through January 2020.
“Social media changes daily, if not hourly, and on our end, to catch things that might be happening, we need to be on top of it,” he said. “The feedback we’ve gotten from school districts is that they want more training more often, so it’s going to be incumbent upon us to provide that training.”
While open to districts, junior colleges, school-based law enforcement and open enrollment charter schools, the workshops are not open to vendors and contractors.
