Flashpoint: School Violence

In memory of those who perished and in honor of those who survived the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy, this Flashpoint aimed to examine the difficulty of peacebuilding in the aftermath of school violence and to examine preventative approaches in play to deter future violent incidents in our K-20 schools. An array of panelists who had hands-on experiences dealing with and preventing violence in schools explored these questions: What are the impacts of violence on our educational systems? How do we heal? And, how do we create safe schools and communities?
