AFTER PROVIDING AN OVERVIEW OF THE NATURE AND CAUSES OF SCHOOL VIOLENCE, THE MANUAL PROPOSES A NEW COMMUNITYORIENTED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR SCHOOLS AND OUTLINES AN PLAN FOR SCHOOL, AGENCY, AND COMMUNITY COOPERATION.
Abstract
OTHER PROGRAMS AND REFORMS WHICH MAY AID IN REDUCING SCHOOL VIOLENCE ARE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT IN A TEAM STRUCTURE AND PARENT EDUCATION. IT IS NOTED THAT THESE TWO INNOVATIONS WOULD INCREASE STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND COORDINATION, AND INVOLVE PARENTS IN HELPING STUDENTS CONTROL THEIR BEHAVIOR. SEVERAL PROGRAMS WHICH HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN HELPING THE TROUBLED STUDENT OR PREVENTING THE OCCURRENCE OF STUDENT BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS ARE DESCRIBED. EXAMPLES OF SUCCESSFUL SECURITY MEASURES FOR VANDALISM AND VIOLENCE CONTROL AND INTERAGENCY PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE OR ESTABLISH SERVICES TO YOUTH ARE PROVIDED. THE TEXT OF A BILL WHICH ESTABLISHED THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL ATTENDANCE REVIEW BOARD IS ALSO INCLUDED.
