Check out the tabs "Space Team Labs" and "Plant the Moon Grant".   The Texas Space Grant Consortium is NASA's Education arm for the state.  The Space Team Lab grant comes with a high tech computer, the software to run it, and 6 learning modules that guide students through it.  

Brian Stroman, TREA representative and Bloomburg ISD superintendent teamed up with ESC Region 8 School Safety Director Lee Gill to work with superintendent David Segers and Maud ISD on their District Vulnerability Assessment (DVA).  The result was a No Findings report, the best possible outcome for a DVA.  Great job, Maud ISD!

Remember, Brian and Lee can assist you with your DVA, and even if yours isn't scheduled for this year, it's not too early to get some guidance.  If you need more information, contact Bill Tarleton at btarleton@txrea.com

Thanks to Brian Stroman, superintendent at Bloomburg ISD and TREA Foundation Board Member, he will assist TREA Superintendents with that process free of charge.  Bloomburg was a pilot district and were very successful in that DVA.  He is conducting these consults with the appreciation of the TEA, in that the districts Brian has worked with are extremely more prepared to conduct the DVA than those that haven't.  

It's my understanding that all districts will have to go through this, and will be on a 4-year cycle.
