PROGRAMMING PEACE ON CAMPUS
BEAUMONT - The rate of violent incidents in schools dropped sharply after
1999-2000 and is now holding steady, school officials reported Thursday at
the Beaumont Independent School District board meeting.
W. Preston Shaw, assistant superintendent for administration, told trustees
that he was "happy to share with you this sharp, sharp decrease in
in-school violent incidents."
He credited the drop to the implementation of dozens of preventative
programs in the schools. There are 12 drug and violence prevention programs
in place at the elementary level, 16 at the middle school level and 13 at
the high school level.
