School Safety: Annual Report, 2000

The vast majority of America’s schools continue to be safe places.
In fact, notwithstanding the disturbing reports of violence in our
schools, they are becoming even safer. But the fears of students,
teachers and parents are real. And it is true that some schools have
serious crime and violence problems. The Annual Report on School
Safety is a toolbox for use in combating these fears and problems.

The 2000 edition of the Annual Report is designed to complement
its predecessors. It presents an updated description of the nature
and extent of crime and violence on school property.

The 2000 edition contains a special discussion on student discipline. This Annual Report is divided into four chapters: The Nature and Scope of School Violence; Safe Schools/Healthy Students—Collaboration in Action; Student
Discipline; and Resources.
