The Committee on The Impact of Active Shooter Drills on Student Health and Wellbeing of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is organizing a 7-part public listening session series to discuss on the impact of active shooter drills and school security measures. During these sessions the committee will hear perspectives from a variety of constituencies including students, teachers, school nurses, school psychologists, and parents and caregivers as well as considerations for students with disabilities and students who are dual language learners. The purpose of these sessions will be for the committee to hear from various invited individuals and to consider their perspectives in future deliberations.

The format of these sessions will be informal, moderated discussions among invited participants and committee members. The sessions will take place in October - November 2024 and each session will be live webcast, with the recording to be posted afterward. Each session will be 60 minutes.
