"School Safety in Jeopardy: Experts Warn of Inadequate Protection Beyond Campus Borders.

Until policymakers tackle this critical issue, the safety of students will remain at risk, and the Safe Schools Initiative may ultimately fall short of its promise."


The Safe Schools Initiative will keep falling short until the lack of security beyond school grounds is confronted.
