policy challenges. HSAC currently offers a variety of programs focused on technology, engagement, capability building, and partnerships for crisis managers, policymakers, and public safety professionals, in addition to students pursuing a graduate degree. Through the partnership, HSAC@SPP will expand its current offerings, create new educational and training programs, and reach a broader participant group that includes graduate students and audiences throughout California and the nation. Education Policy & Impact Initiative The Education Policy and Impact initiative based at the SPP is a multi-year initiative intended to both prepare policy leaders as it engages current policymakers in civil discussions about the future of America's education system. Launched in the fall of 2019, this program builds upon the existing work SPP has undertaken in coursework, research, and public events. Led by noted education reform leader Hanna Skandera, who teaches a class at the policy school, the Initiative convenes policy leaders around the year in events and webinars.
