Reply to "Public School District CSA Prevention Strategies?"

Brenda YuenMember

I've gone through the 162 page document outlining the Union agreement between our public school system (#MCPS) and the Union and I haven't found a thing that would prevent our school leaders from adopting prevention policies in schools! Maybe it's well hidden, but most of what I read talks about creating civility, respect, cooperation, etc. between adults and the children they serve. To me, this language lends itself right into the issue I want explicitly outlined. It perplexes me to no end why anyone would waste a moment's time to institute prevention policies, and display a zero tolerance policy, which would only help prevent these types of traumas from occurring in our schools. The momentum has to swell from the community (political leaders, parents, other adults who care for kids) before anyone lifts a finger. The fear factor & apathy play right into a perpetrator's hands...
