SXSW EDU 2019
Building Just Systems for Safe Schools
Description:
A positive school climate is one in which people feel socially, emotionally and physically safe and connected. In a time of heightened concern about violence in schools, schools are collaborating with law enforcement, security personnel, and juvenile justice institutions. How can schools and communities strategically, justly, and equitably leverage non-educator staff and institutions to improve school climate, increase school safety, and enhance the education and wellbeing of all students?
