Safeguarding Our Children: An Action Guide

On April 28, 2000, the U.S. Department of Education and Department of Justice released a new jointly developed Action Guide to help schools and communities prevent school violence. The guide, Safeguarding Our Children: An Action Guide, follows up on the 1998 Early Warning, Timely Response: A Guide To Safe Schools, which offered guidelines for school safety and was also co-authored by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice. Within ED, the Office of Special Education Programs and the Safe and Drug Free Schools Program once again teamed to produce the Action Guide, which emphasizes early intervention and prevention, and the importance of teamwork among educators, mental health professionals, parents, and students.Available at http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/safety/actguide/index.html
