School Violence Manual

Our library just received the 2006 edition of the Colorado School Violence Prevention and Student Discipline Manual by John W. Suthers, Attorney General of Colorado. This expanded edition is a must-have manual for teachers, administrators, parents, and anyone interested in the problem of school violence. In it you will learn that bullying may constitute a crime; schools must adopt a safe school plan, dress codes and policies on gang-related activities; parents can be held accountable for the actions of their children. Other topics are on student searches, reporting requirements relating to crimes, suspension, expulsion and more. Legal references are given throughout for those who want more detail. Past editions of this manual are not online but can be borrowed in hardcopy from our library.
