Synopses & Reviews
Each year in schools across the United States, more than three million crimes are committed, over 9,000 fires break out, and hundreds of thousands of students are injured. Especially in light of the recent tragic shootings in towns like Springfield, Oregon and Littleton, Colorado, parents are running scared, and administrators are overwhelmed, underfunded, and sometimes unresponsive. It's time to examine what we can do to combat a rash of violence, and make schools safer.
Safe at School covers every school safety problem -- guns, drugs, disaster preparation, sexual harassment, bullies, and many more. Step-by-step action plans explain how to identify problems at your child's school, how to form a parent safety group, and how to hold schools accountable for your child's safety.
