School Safety

What makes this book so valuable to the practicing school administrator is that the editors draw from real life. They present 24 actual safety events in schools, ranging from a missing student to a school shooting. They analyze each occurrence, examining actions (or inactions) of school staff and what could have been handled differently. * School Administrator Magazine *
