The Dane County School Safety Forum brings together law enforcement officers, emergency responders, firefighters, and school officials from Dane County and surrounding areas to learn about and discuss school safety issues. Meetings are coordinated by the current Steering Committee members:

There are times when there is an incident, 911 hang-up, or emergency and the 911 Communication center may need to reach a school. The timeliness of this call would be very important! It might possibly involve lifesaving information so the district can make a decision on lockdown, hold, secure, etc. Unfortunately, often the call back number is a phone tree or a number not answered by a "person".
In order for the 911 center to be able to share information with the districts, we need a phone number that WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY be answered by a live person who is knowledgable about emergency response procedures. This can be a cell phone or a land line, ideally a number that rings multiple phones in order to maximize the chances of the call being answered. The key to communication of critical information is having this contact phonen number, not a number that reaches a phone tree or automation. Please email the phone number to psctech@danecounty.gov.
