Our schools, neighborhoods and community play an integral role in shaping the future of our students, and together we have the power to foster positive change.
Youth violence is something that affects us all; many of you have been impacted by violence. It is not confined within the walls of our schools; it has ripple effects throughout our community and vice versa.
We want to gain deeper insights into the areas and ideas to reduce violence in our community. We value your input and are using ThoughtExchange so everyone has a chance to share their perspectives.
Please share your thoughts and then rate at least 20-30 of the thoughts that others have shared. Your participation is confidential, so no one will know who shared or rated which thoughts. Please be polite and respectful as you share and rate thoughts. Thoughts that are rude or hurtful may be removed from the conversation.
