| Subject: | Resolution – Safe Schools Week 2014 |
| In the near future, I will introduce a resolution recognizing October 19-25th as “Safe Schools Week 2014” in Pennsylvania. Originally created by the National School Safety Center in 1984, America Safe Schools Week was established to acknowledge the significant progress that is being made to ensure that all of our nation’s schools are safe, secure, and productive. America’s Safe Schools Week occurs annually during the third full week of October. This year’s goal is to motivate key education and law enforcement policymakers, as well as students, parents, and community residents, to vigorously advocate for school safety. School safety includes keeping schools free of crime and violence, improving discipline, and increasing student attendance. Schools that are safe and free of violence, weapons and drugs are necessary to ensure the well-being of all children and the quality of their education. Schools should be safe havens for teaching and learning, free of crime and violence. Safe Schools Week provides a unique opportunity to focus on educational issues that directly affect your constituency. Please join me in sponsoring this very important resolution. |
