Thomas Stoughton has more than three decades of experience in business consulting and leading numerous nonprofit projects in the education sector. Dedicated to improving safety and anti-violence initiatives in schools, Thomas Stoughton played a role in the development of the Indiana Department of Education’s Indiana School Safety Specialist Academy, now called the School Building Physical Security and Safety program.
The program increases safety protocols for educational institutions throughout the state by providing educators and faculty with ongoing, certified training in addition to resources for school security, emergency preparedness, and intervention and prevention planning. Participants learn from a team of school-safety specialists, who also assist in the development and implementation of these strategies. Moreover, the program outlines best practices to create safe educational environments. There are three levels of training: basic, advanced, and regional. In order to attend the advanced and regional sessions, participants must first complete basic training. The multi-day courses begin every fall with two days of instruction in Indianapolis in addition to an online component with materials and assignments that must be finished before the final day of training in the following spring.
