Safe School Climate

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Tucker/Where%20We%20Live%2001-02-2013.mp3

The children of Sandy Hook Elementary school go back to class today, in a new school in Monroe.

Officials of that district are putting a premium on the safety of these students - physically and emotionally - as they try to return their lives to normal.

But around the country, students are heading back to a school today where they DON’T feel safe - whether it’s from bullying, exclusion, or violence that projects from outside the school walls.

Advocates for a safe school climate have been working on the ground for years to create a safe, positive atmosphere for students.  

Today we’ll look at school culture with Jo Ann Freiberg from the state Department of Education, teachers, administrators, and you.
