Con- flict resolution, peer mediation initiative, staff development in violence prevention, parenting programs, curriculum materi- als promoting non-violence, community partnerships and li- aison with police and support services are currently under- way. The board's policy states that school climate sets the tone for the reduction or prevention of crime and discipline problems. Positive academic environ- ment, values, skills curriculum, physical environment, suppor- tive climate for staff and stu- dents, codes of conduct, parent/ school collaboration, communi- ty partnerships, student partic- ipation and staff development all are factors. Security and safety in school came to the forefront in Novem- ber, 1993 when Minister of Edu- cation and Training Dave Cooke, -announced a zero- tolerance strategy to address vi- olence in Ontario schools. Its mandates included school boards developing their own policy. A task force met and summits were held across Ontario and in June, 1994 the Violence-Free Schools Policy was released stating the government would not tolerate violent behavior in schools and that effective part- nerships are needed to success- fully address violence in school and society and students must learn to acquire skills to be re- sponsible citizens and to partici- pate effectively in society.
