Preventing Dangerous Situations in School

Overview:

According to the 2022 Arizona Youth Survey, about 17% of students reported that it would be “sort of” or “very” easy to acquire a handgun. This academy will focus on helping youth understand the consequences of bringing weapons/dangerous instruments on campus as well as what to do if a peer does. It will educate youth on how making false threats can impact the school and community as well as the legal consequences it can bring. Information will be provided that will inform youth on the importance of reporting unsafe situations and how school rules and laws keep the community safe.
