School Safety in the Wake of Recent Violence
from Press Release
As incidents of school violence continue to make headlines, many school districts are reassessing their safety protocols. Measures such as increased security personnel, surveillance cameras, and metal detectors are becoming more common in schools.
In addition to physical security measures, schools are also focusing on fostering a positive school climate where students feel safe and supported. Social-emotional learning programs are being implemented to help students build coping skills and resolve conflicts non-violently.
However, there is debate over whether more security is the solution or if it simply masks deeper issues such as bullying, mental health, and lack of community support.
