Today's episode tackles a question of paramount concern for every parent, educator, and student: How are schools preparing your child for the unthinkable reality of an active shooter situation? And what protocols are in place to respond to such harrowing events?

We are honored to welcome Daniel Dluzneski, a seasoned professional whose illustrious career with the U.S. Secret Service spans over two decades. Beginning his journey as a K-9 Technician alongside his trusted companion Korak, Daniel has navigated his way to a significant role within the Emergency Management Department of the Pinellas County Florida School System.

In this capacity, Daniel has been instrumental in ensuring the safety of over 100,000 students across 140 schools. His seamless transition from the sphere of national security to the educational sector endows him with an invaluable perspective on the critical issue of school safety.

Daniel is also the author of "The First FIVE Minutes," a comprehensive guide focusing on the vital initial steps of lockdown procedures. Join us as we delve into his insights and explore this crucial topic further.

Mentioned by Alex:\n\nEverytown partnered with Georgia Tech to study changes in social media conversations related to 114 American schools spanning 33 states, 90 days before active shooter drills compared with 90 days after the drills. This included drills in a mix of elementary, middle, and high schools.\n\nEverytown and Georgia Tech\u2019s study further suggests that active shooter drills significantly impact mental health, regardless of whether they are implemented in elementary, middle, or high schools. However, each school level faces unique challenges. Stress and anxiety are highest among high school communities in the 90 days following drills (52 percent increase), while depression levels remain consistent with this age group. Middle school students, parents, and teachers experience the greatest increase in depression (55 percent), though stress and anxiety levels increase following drills as well (48 percent). Elementary school communities experience significant increases in stress and anxiety (28 percent) and depression (30 percent), though these impacts are less dramatic than those observed in middle and high schools.
