We have a high regard for those individuals who did call because it showed, first, that they cared and, second, that they were not willing to accept the secondhand and thirdhand rumors flying around as the truth. By far, the vast majority of school days are days without incidents of violence. Fighting among students continues to be reduced. We have a safe high school in which our students and staff can function. Our first priority, even before academic success, is to create and maintain safe schools at every level of our district.
Much effort goes into our safe schools initiative.
Staff, administrators, students, and parents are working cooperatively together to prevent violence from ever taking place. One fight or one threat is one too many. There are services available to help reduce conflicts among students. Staff are alert to potential student conflicts, and they either find solutions themselves or work with colleagues to find answers. We look for the signs and know how to deal with reducing the potential for violence.
