STEM activities are essential for learning, but they carry risks that demand more than just classroom supervision. School leaders are responsible for adopting safety programs that align with standards, but what happens when best practices meet the unpredictable reality of a chemical reaction? This session features a case study into a real-world science experiment that took an unexpected turn, requiring a response from both the local fire department and the state HazMat team. Participants will explore: • The critical role of district leadership in developing robust safety policies. • Why partnerships with public safety officials are the backbone of effective crisis management. • Lessons learned from the HazMat response to help refine your own district’s emergency procedures. Join us to learn how proactive collaboration between school administrators and first responders can turn a potential disaster into a well-managed incident, ensuring the continued safety of students and staff alike.
