Dear Colleague:
You are invited to participate in the National Student Safety Summit, which will be held March 5-6, 2009 in Nanuet, New York. Please join us together with the university administrators, teachers, police chiefs, first responders, safety professionals, and community leaders who have already reserved a seat at this unprecedented 2-day national event.
Your participation will further the cause of identifying and sharing best practices, and help model a community process to stamp out school violence in all its forms, including shootings, bullying, dating violence, vandalism, gang activity, and catastrophic events such as school massacres. The two days of the summit will begin with the national perspective, presented by our speaker from the U.S. Department of Justice, Kim Lowry, Director, Office of Communications, U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs.
This address will be followed by presentations by experts on school violence covering key community perspectives: students, teachers, parents, local business, faith-based groups, the media, and other community resources and stakeholders. The range of topics reflects a process of total community engagement.
