The N.C. Department of Public Instruction’s Center for Safer Schools opened its temporary training facility at Samarcand on Tuesday.
Plans call for the CFSS to offer classes monthly in support of its mission to promote safe learning environments for North Carolina K-12 schools.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt said it’s important for everyone in schools – teachers, support staff, administrators and school resource officers – to be able to train in “as real of an environment as possible.”
Training initiatives will be a collaborative effort among the departments of Public Instruction, Public Safety and Justice.
