No school or community is immune to violence. Violence in our schools, whether it involves threats, fistfights, knives or firearms, is unacceptable.
Children deserve a safe place to learn and grow.
To SAVE Schools from Violence, everyone must work together. Ensure that students learn violence prevention techniques in class. Involve faculty, students, staff and community in setting up anti-violence programs, such as SAVE Schools from Violence. Work with law enforcement to devise guidelines on how violence, threats and potentially violent situations should be handled. Involve parents in school activities, for instance, provide volunteer opportunities or hold events on weekends.
