We closed out the 2026 Florida National Summit on School Safety with one of the most powerful sessions of the week, hearing directly from those at the heart of it all, our students.

This morning’s Student Perspective on School Safety Panel brought together high school students who shared their experiences, concerns and ideas for creating safer school communities. Their voices were insightful and a powerful reminder of why this work matters.

Today, we proudly kicked off the 2026 Florida National Summit on School Safety with a powerful and meaningful opening ceremony.

We were honored to hear from Florida Commissioner of Education Anastasios Kamoutsas, who reaffirmed Florida’s unwavering commitment to keeping our students and educators safe. His message set the tone for the important work ahead.

We also took a moment to recognize and welcome the families of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, whose strength continues to inspire our mission and purpose.

A special congratulations to School Safety Specialist of the Year, John Newman of Hillsborough County, for his outstanding dedication to protecting Florida’s schools.

We look forward to the next few days of meaningful conversations, collaboration and continued progress in advancing school safety across our state and beyond.
