Prior to Facilitron, Cheryl served as Emergency Operations Center Director and Safety and Security Coordinator for the Gilroy Unified School District (GUSD) where she created and executed the district’s comprehensive school safety plan and coordinated multiple active shooter and disaster drills involving the district’s public safety partners.
