Convergint Lunch & Learn
META Solutions and Convergint are inviting school district leaders to a Lunch & Learn that is focused on equipping you with the tools & knowledge needed to reduce incidents through informed decision-making long before an emergency. Participants will be introduced to Convergint’s STEP tool, which is a practical framework for the completion of assessments, recommendations, & planning.
This session is focused on leadership, planning, and long-term decision-making. Our goal is to help district leaders feel confident evaluating security priorities, understanding market trends, and aligning safety investments with district-wide goals.
During this session, we will cover these topics:
- Foundations of School Security — including policies, people, communication, and core security systems that are viewed through a layered, district-wide approach
- Current Market Trends — such as system unification, cloud-based security technologies, and the role of Security Operations Centers (SOC)
- Security from a Business Perspective — key terminology, total cost of ownership, and long-term budgeting
- Next Steps for Districts — overview of the STEP (Security Technology Evaluation & Planning) tool which aligns with PASS- and ESRM-aligned risk assessments
We look forward to your participation and the opportunity to support your district’s planning efforts with the priority of keeping our schools safe.
