With a new school year beginning and the May 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, still fresh in the public consciousness, many are wondering how their local school communities can best safeguard themselves from gun violence and its associated impacts. As new ideas are introduced into the discussion and old ideas are recycled, it is imperative that school leaders and other policymakers have the evidence they need to implement sound policies and strategies.

This webinar, held on Friday, September 16, highlighted the “Keeping Schools Safe from Firearm Violence" research series from the Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium (RGVRC) at the Rockefeller Institute of Government. The discussion presented school community stakeholders with important data, strategies, and policy recommendations for keeping students safe from firearm-involved violence.

• 3:00 Jason R. Silva, assistant professor, Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, William Paterson University
