Student Success

Building student and staff confidence that threat reporting will lead to action remains critical to K-12 leaders' efforts to prevent school violence.

Repeated hazing incidents captured on video have tanked the football season at Middletown Area High School in central Pennsylvania.

Allowing students to take mental health days when they are struggling emotionally is a positive step but won't solve the wider crisis K-12 leaders are confronting. 

AR-15s will be stored in gun safes in undisclosed locations in Madison County's six schools so resource officers can "meet violence with violence."

Is the purpose of tracking online activity to protect or punish students? Too often, it seems to be the latter, researchers say.

Many administrators are relying on teachers and other staff to contact families of chronically absent students. Experts also say a focus on safety and climate will convince students to return.
