After The Washington Post ran this letter, I got a request to be interviewed by an international news bureau.
School shootings are an international concern. People around the world are looking for ways to protect their schools, including how America addresses school violence.
Keynoting the 114th Annual International Association for Truancy and Dropout Prevention Conference in Corpus Christi was so energizing!
Chronic absenteeism is a national problem, and this conference delivered hope with practical strategies.

“What’s going on? I need my kid.”
@volusiaschools, @VolusiaSheriff and @RaptorK12 practiced that moment so parents never have to wonder. Reunification plans are the law in Florida since Parkland. Practicing them is what makes them work.
Thank you @washingtonpost for publishing my letter to the editor. I hope it helps us deal with timely and
heart-wrenching situations.

The Power of One and The Power of Two.
Now is the time to get your flu and COVID vaccines together.
Not 100% effective, but significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and death for you.
See your health care provider because vaccines can help you protect the ones you love.
I am blessed. My professional article was published in the Journal of School Health.
The article traces my history, as a colleague noted, as a "pathfinder" for school health.
One reader called it, “Inspirational,” but it may put you to sleep. Maybe.

Absenteeism is a huge problem.
When students don’t go to schools, schools lose money and communities compromise their futures.
School safety is an issue.
The IATDP Conference will address these timely issues.
I am psyched to keynote this timely event.
