Bases its policy on the premise that violence is a societal problem and that to confront and reduce it, all parts of society must be involved, including schools. All school boards must begin to develop a violence-prevention policy in consultation with community partners by September, 1994, and this policy must be implemented no later than September, 1995. The purposes of this policy are: to reduce and try to eliminate violence in schools; to help students to manage their lives and relationships in non-violent ways. Describe violence as being either physical, verbal, emotional, sexual or racial. Some of the topics to be included in policies are: violence prevention in curriculum; code of behaviour; staff development; home, school and community involvement. Duties of principals, teachers and students are outlined. Includes sections on the Young Offenders Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.--Source not specified.
