Resources and Guides

IU13 is committed to helping school administrators navigate through the complex world of safety and security, and finding simple, easy-to-understand solutions.

This section is dedicated to researching viable safety and security options. We take our research very seriously, understanding that it can have consequences that can impact the lives of others. This section features a series of white papers that we have researched and created to help you grasp complicated topics in easy-to-understand terms. The papers are available to our friends and partners who want more than just an executive summary.

Please pay attention to the embedded links within our white papers that will connect you to the resources we reference in the paper. Remember, our goal is to help you understand how to solve your safety and security issues so you can stay focused on providing an excellent education to students in your school.
