Our FDRESA team came together for a day of learning, collaboration, and connection at our staff meeting!

We were excited to have Mark Wilson kick us off for the day, setting the tone for meaningful learning and shared purpose. Our breakout groups reflected the very heart of FDRESA as we worked together, shared ideas, and strengthened our commitment to serving our districts.

First in Leadership. First in Service. First in Collaboration. First in Hearts. ❤️

Our FDRESA Whole Child Supports Team was excited to join our amazing district coordinators and GaDOE partners in Macon for the GaDOE GaMTSS Professional Learning Event for District Leaders!💚

Throughout the day, our districts learned, planned, and collaborated around GaMTSS fidelity, data-based decision-making, and next steps to strengthen tiered supports across their schools and districts.

We are grateful for the dedication of these leaders and their continued commitment to building strong systems of support for ALL students!

🚨 School Safety in Action! 🚨

We recently had a great group in Brunswick for our School Safety & Anti-Gang training with GEMA Instructor Kate Hargrove! Participants strengthened their knowledge and skills in critical areas of school safety, including Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE), Stop the Bleed, and Visual Weapons Screening. The training also included hands-on practice with Stop the Bleed techniques to help participants feel more prepared to respond during an emergency.
