Ken Bell has been a teacher in the Los Angeles area for 10 years. He has devised security procedures during major campus functions, potentially volatile sporting events and has dealt with campus riots and campus shootings. The school campuses Ken worked had frequent gang rival confrontations that required a very alert and trained staff. Ken is a 12-year School Board member in Duarte, California, which has allowed him to have a unique perspective regarding the whole educational process. Ken's experience affords him information that involves educational policy making, staffing, security and law enforcement systems.
