POSITION: Director of Safety and Security

SALARY: $85,000 with an excellent benefits package

POSITION OVERVIEW: Newtown Public Schools seeks an experienced, collaborative, and highly
responsive safety leader to direct a comprehensive districtwide school safety and security program. The
Director will oversee security personnel and lead prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts
across seven schools, as well as district offices. The successful candidate will combine strong operational
judgment with an understanding that effective school safety must also support a welcoming educational
environment. The successful candidate will also be visible in schools, responsive to administrators and
staff, comfortable addressing gaps directly, and committed to learning from incidents and exercises. This
individual must be able to balance security needs with student and staff well-being, civil rights, privacy,
accessibility, and school climate.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
 Advise the Superintendent and school/district leadership on school safety, security, emergency

management, and risk-reduction priorities.
 Supervise, schedule, train, support, and evaluate district armed and unarmed security personnel;

establish consistent expectations and accountability across all schools.
 Develop, maintain, and annually update district and school-specific all-hazards safety and security plans

in alignment with Connecticut requirements and current professional standards.
 Coordinate required drills, tabletop exercises, emergency training, and security and vulnerability

assessments; lead after-action reviews and ensure corrective actions are completed.
 Work in close partnership with the Superintendent, Newtown Police, fire services, EMS, emergency

management, public health, and appropriate state agencies to coordinate planning and operations while
supporting the Superintendent's direct relationships with public-safety leadership.

 Lead the District Safety and Security Committee and support school-level security and safety
committees.

 Coordinate a multidisciplinary behavioral threat assessment and management process, including clear
procedures for reporting, evaluating, managing, documenting, and monitoring safety concerns.

 Conduct regular school visits and security walkthroughs; work closely with principals to identify needs,
strengthen practices, and ensure districtwide consistency.

 Oversee physical-security systems and equipment, including access control, visitor management, video
surveillance, alarms, radios, keys, credentials, and related maintenance and training.

 Develop security and emergency plans for major events, athletics, performances, and community use of
school facilities.

 Manage the safety and security budget, grants, equipment, records, compliance calendar, and required
state submissions.

 Respond to significant incidents, support incident command, communicate promptly with district
leadership, and help guide recovery and improvement efforts.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

 Bachelor's degree in emergency management, public safety, criminal justice, education, or a related
field; an equivalent combination of education and highly relevant experience may be considered.

 Substantial progressively responsible experience in school safety, emergency management, law
enforcement, public safety, or a closely related field, including personnel supervision.

 Demonstrated knowledge of K-12 operations, all-hazards emergency planning, NIMS/ICS, behavioral
threat assessment and management, physical security, and the legal and ethical considerations of
working in schools.

 Strong leadership, communication, training, investigative, organizational, and crisis-management skills.
 Ability to maintain confidentiality, exercise sound judgment under pressure, follow through consistently,

and build trust with students, staff, families, administrators, and public-safety partners.
 FEMA IS-100, IS-200, IS-700, and IS-800 completion, or willingness to complete these courses within a

district-established period after appointment.
 Valid driver's license and ability to satisfy all legally required school-employment background checks.
 Any license, credential, or statutory qualification required for duties assigned to the position must be

obtained and continuously maintained.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

 Advanced degree or recognized certification in emergency management, school safety, threat
assessment, or physical security.

 Experience leading safety and security in a public-school district or similarly complex youth-serving
organization.

 Experience with exercise design, emergency communications, security technology, capital planning,
grants, and budget management.
