Navigating Safety and Risk Management in School Districts: A Strategic Roadmap Leveraging AI to meet Compliance Requirements

Presenters: Laurie Maier, Lisa Kiel, & James Palcik

Description: School districts face challenges in ensuring safety and compliance in Science, STEM, and CTE programs amid evolving regulations, limited resources, and emerging technologies like AI. This session equips science leaders with strategies to identify hazards, address deficiencies, and leverage AI tools to improve district safety and operational efficiency. 

Key Takeaway: Attendees will learn to conduct hazard analyses and risk assessments tailored to STEM spaces, identify deficiencies like outdated safety plans or improper chemical storage, and leverage AI to streamline safety documentation, manage inventories, and predict risks. They will also develop a proactive safety roadmap aligning with regulations and district goals for safer, more efficient STEM programs.
