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 [email protected]
