| Teachers,
Students And Parents Are Entitled To Expect Schools To Be Safe |
The growth of violence in our
nation, in Kentucky and in Lexington, concerns all of us. It has an impact on our
schools. In many cases, school violence has a long-lasting effect on our society
and community. It disrupts education and reduces our children's sense of security in
the place they must, by law, attend: school.
Providing safe, non-threatening, non-violent
schools is one of our most important responsibilities. Students should feel safe in
schools. Our children must be challenged to learn, rather than be challenged to
survive. Parents should become as involved as possible in their child's
school. Active parents make a difference in our schools and our children's learning. |
