S1 Ep. 3 How Technology is Making Schools Safer—and Bullying Easier

Kids aren’t just facing bullying in-person—it’s also from behind their phone and computer screens. 

Jeff Bean started his career in school safety as a School Resource Officer (SRO) during his time as a police officer. As concerns for safety changed and grew, he started SafeSchools4All, an educational resource for parents, faculty, administrators and students that aims to create safe school environments. 

When technology changes and grows, it can enhance security but also foster unsafe environments for students. SafeSchools4All helps parents and teachers stay up to date on topics involving bullying and other safety issues, providing guidance on discussions with kids. 

Jeff also advocates for the use of security technology, especially for student Chromebooks or other electronic devices. Listen to learn his perspective on the changing environment of school security.
