Office of Safe and Healthy Students within the U.S. Department of Education (ED), and its REMS TA Center will host a Webinar to discuss
the importance of creating a plan to manage memorials and anniversaries as a part of overall school and higher ed safety planning.
Michele Gay of Safe & Sound Schools and Kristina Anderson of the Koshka Foundation will join the Webinar to discuss why schools should
