Roy
A. Balentine is a native of Weir, Mississippi. He holds a Bachelor
of
Science degree in Elementary Education and a Master of Science degree
in School Administration from Mississippi State University. His
experience in the field of education includes 14 years as a teacher
and administrator.
While serving as Principal of Pearl
High School in Pearl, Mississippi, from 1997-2000, Roy and his staff
experienced a life-altering event when a student gunman entered
the school and killed two of his fellow students, and injured seven
others. That experience, along with the subsequent shootings that
have occurred around the nation, has led to his current involvement
in the field of school violence and crisis management.
He serves as President of School
Safety Consultants, LLC, a national school safety consulting firm.
In that role, he travels extensively throughout the United States
and Canada, speaking and conducting seminars and training.
Roy is available for keynotes, seminars, and workshops which provide
fact-based information needed to increase sensitivity to the far-reaching
effects of school violence. Specific topics include identification
of warning signs, characteristics of safe schools, dealing with
the media, crisis management, and the development of an effective
crisis management plan.
In addition
to his work with School Safety Consultants, Roy also offers services
through Education Management Group, LLC. EMG specializes in the
areas of Grant Writing, No Child Left Behind requirements, Security
Assessments, Crisis Planning and Management, Homeland Security,
Due Process/Disciplinary Hearings, Technology Assessment and Planning,
