# How School Board’s Association is Using Trisk to Maintain School Safety When the Missouri School Board’s Association (“MSBA”) discovered they needed an easier way to help Schools comply with requirements of developing and maintaining Emergency Operating Plans, they turned to Trisk. ## 200 School Districts Onboarded MSBA scaled emergency planning across hundreds of schools, ensuring faster response times and compliance with evolving safety regulations—without adding complexity. ## 1,500 Emergency Operating Plans (EOPs) Produced By automating document creation and updates, MSBA eliminated manual inefficiencies, enabling schools to access accurate, up-to-date safety plans instantly—without delays or administrative bottlenecks. ## 3 People Managing the Entire Process What once required extensive staff hours is now handled by just three key personnel, reducing overhead while improving speed, accuracy, and collaboration across districts. ## The Challenge: Managing Safety Without Complexity ### MSBA needed a scalable, resource-efficient way to maintain and update Emergency Operating Plans (EOPs) across a growing network of schools without straining internal teams. - **The Bottleneck:** The existing system was resource-intensive, prone to delays, and difficult to coordinate across multiple stakeholders. - **The Pressure:** Schools required real-time safety updates, evolving compliance measures, and a more structured, automated process. - **The Turning Point:** By adopting Trisk, MSBA transformed EOP management—ensuring compliance, streamlining collaboration, and enabling districts to maintain safer schools with less effort. The result? Schools now operate with fewer risks, greater efficiency, and complete peace of mind—knowing their safety plans are always up to date. ## How MSBA uses Trisk? ### Define participants, buildings, emergencies to be covered Designated administrators use prepared forms and workflows to launch processes. ### Launch forms to external users Anyone with an email address can receive and complete tasks. ### Launch workflows from workflows Easy to use forms can be launched to multiple user profiles via automated sequential workflow launches. ### Monitor progress, assist with questions, drive toward deadline Dashboard and email based review, response, and online help. ## Meet MSBA ### Discover how Trisk helped MSBA deliver a quality, compliant school Emergency Operating Plans Emergency Operating Plans, or EOP's, are living documents that require revisions yearly. This became a continuous challenge. Their previous tool was expensive, rigid and required custom development. It provided no interaction among parties. It was cumbersome and didn't instill confidence. ## Discover the power of Trisk for a MSBA experience ### Form Builder MSBA used Trisk’s no-code, intuitive, tool to define questions and conditions for data collection which publish individualized questions and content to users based on facilities and threats specific to participating schools. ### Workflow Builder EOP Workflows are kicked off individually or based on user responses to published forms. MSBA configured sequential workflow launches to ensure optimal flexibility, monitoring and coverage. ### Export to end users Once completed and assembled, district administrators export tailored plans to an external PDF engagement review process as well as dedicated mobile apps suitable for use by school staff and first respondents. ### MSBA is using Trisk to build a school community Trisk allows their relationships to grow and expand by providing confidence and certainty in getting their EOP's to the appropriate parties. Everything is in its place and everyone is able to work on their tasks accordingly. Users don’t need to be tech-savvy, Trisk is intuitive and easy to use. Trisk allows MSBA to manage their content and systems easily. Bob Klausmeyer, Education safety coordinator, commented: "It's easy to use. It's all there. We're not near using the full potential of Trisk and it's already transforming how we do things. We're able to reduce the burden (on school staff), allow them the ability to get out their information to all the necessary parties such as first responders, fire, police, etc. and we're able to do it quickly." ## Explore More Customer Stories ### How Trisk plays in Tax space “When VPTax implemented Trisk, results came in right away.
