Active threat and reunification on a school campus will be addressed at the bi-annual Safe Schools Summit on Thursday, April 7.

From 5 to 8:30 p.m., school administrators, school board directors, law enforcement, teachers and parents are invited to learn more about responding to and recovering from an active shooter scenario. The Safe Schools Summit will be held in the auditorium of Phoenixville High School, 386 City Line Avenue, Phoenixville, 19460. The event will also be available for live streaming on CCiTV (ccitv.cciu.org), said a press release from the Chester County Intermediate Unit.
