(MENAFN- PR Newswire)
BOSTON, Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Public Consulting Group (PCG) is pleased to announce that one of its presentation proposals, "The Pivotal Role of Community Engagement in School Safety, " has been selected through "Panel Picker," SXSW's competitive public voting process. The panel will be held during the 15th annual SXSW EDU conference in Austin Texas in March, where PCG will once again join thousands of educators, administrators, policymakers, students, industry leaders, and visionaries.
"Over the past decade, we've engaged with SXSW EDU on some of the most consequential issues surrounding K-12 education nationwide," said Tony McLean Brown, a PCG Principal. "Concerning behaviors associated with school violence often are observed outside of the school environment. SXSW EDU provides a great platform for workshopping collaborative strategies that communities can align around to help prevent school violence and make schools safer for students."
The panel will bring together a diverse panel of voices-including media, students, and safety experts-to explore collaborative strategies for fostering safer school environments. Panelists include:
Craig Garnett , Publisher of the Uvalde Leader News
John Van Dreal , Author of the Salem-Keizer Cascade model
Karen Fairley , Executive Director of the Center for Safer Schools in North Carolina
Cesar Monagas, MBA Student at The University of Texas at Austin
Together, they will emphasize the importance of community involvement in developing comprehensive approaches to threat assessment and violence prevention.
PCG has been selected for past SXSW EDU panels, including "Policy to Practice: Literacy Equity Through the CO Read Act ," and "Think Big: We Don't Know What We Don't Know ," among others.
