Philadelphia School Violence Report Prompts New Safety Measures

The Philadelphia (PA) Inquirer (9/7, Snyder, Graham) reports that "a long-awaited report on violence in Philadelphia schools found that the district failed to report crime consistently, offered too little counseling for children traumatized by violence, and failed to implement solutions in all schools," and the district "has begun implementing the report's recommendations, including establishing a new protocol for reporting serious incidents and crime in the 155,000-student school system."
