Overview
The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) School Safety and Student Services section consists of the School Safety Center, Prevention, and Student Services teams. Our staff are contacted by many interested vendors seeking to share their products and services related to our work. The details below outline the ways vendors can share their information with our staff.
Reminder: Utah is a local control state. LEAs (public school districts and charter schools) make their own purchasing decisions.
Utah School Safety Center Conference
The annual Utah School Safety Center Conference provides a powerful opportunity for K-12 education leaders to learn from nationally recognized speakers and acquire best practices and programs that support comprehensive school safety. This conference includes exhibitor booths for vendors to share their products and services with participants at the beginning and end of each day, and during transition times and breaks.
Dates
June 9-10, 2027
