More than eight million students participate in interscholastic athletics and afterschool programs each year, and 336 million spectators attend these events. When a school-based emergency or incident occurs, often it is the school personnel who are first to arrive on the scene. Understanding the key role athletic administrators play in mitigating risk in these situations, the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4) last year unveiled the first edition of its "Best Practices Guide" for interscholastic athletics.

The release of this guide was only the first step in the long process of improving interscholastic safety and security. In order to make sure these personnel are prepared for safety and security issues, superintendents, principals, athletics administrators, local law enforcement agents and school resource officers from across the country will converge on The University of Southern Mississippi's Gulf Park Long Beach campus April 13-15 for the National Interscholastic Athletics and After-School Activities Safety and Security Summit, hosted by NCS4.
