*Organize
church/community forums led by "Safer Schools" Team. (contact:
saferschools@yahoo.com)
*Ensure children are fed nutritionally: i.e. Backpack-Food Program.
*Volunteer in our schools: i.e. tutoring, etc.
*Teach children "Telling Is Not Tattling": It is a means of protecting oneself and others.
Students are often the first to know critical information “under the
radar”.
*Support schools when they do things right and
hold them accountable when they do not.
*Insist schools have strict safe school policies (including dress code) with accountability.
*Require annual updates for students, parents, and school personnel about safety concerns.
*Provide annual training for all personnel to facilitate identifying issues.
*Assure citizens: Violence Risk Threat Assessment and Restorative Practices/Justice (positive learning, healing, and growth for all involved) are accountable.
*Write legislators requesting their support (see Safer Schools blogsite page, Legislation: Requests Made to NC Legislators).
*If threatened or feel unsafe,
complete and file a police report ASAP. Keep the original copy: this will be
needed if I petition the court for a Restraining Order.
