National Advisory Board

The National Center for School Safety is guided by a National Advisory Board (NAB) to assist in the identification of the emerging training and technical assistance needs of the school safety community. Through our NAB members’ unique expertise, we work to develop tools, trainings, and other support practices that are appropriate, adaptable, and sustainable for the school safety community nationwide.

NAB members include education, criminology, and developmental researchers, law enforcement, national organizations, youth leaders, superintendents and principals from rural, urban, and tribal districts, and other experts in school safety.
