First sentence: Each year, one out of every fourteen American students suffers a school injury serious enough to require medical attention (Miller and Spicer 1998).
Description: "Preventing School Injuries examines how and why students are injured in schools and in situations for which school districts can be held responsible. This book provides the motivation, knowledge, and tools needed to create and implement a comprehensive school injury prevention program. And because no injury prevention program can be 100 percent effective, Preventing School Injuries demonstrates how schools can provide a quick, efficient, and effective emergency response to those injuries that occur despite efforts to prevent them."--Jacket.
