You pass them every day in the hall. They sit in your classroom. They eat in the cafeteria. But until they explode in a violent rage or send a spray of bullets through a crowd, how can anyone know who is a P.D.S. "Potentially Dangerous Student"? * Learn more about PDS

 

2nd Annual Conference on School Violence Prevention The focus is the Potentially Dangerous Student and methods that will expose the PDS before anyone gets hurt. Once discovered THEN WHAT?  Part of this conference will involve hearing from other school and law enforcement professionals on what has worked in their area to interdict violence and obtain help for PDS.  You will learn about a Nationally Used Assessment Tool that will help determine the PDS from just a Prankster and much more. Other topics will be "Managing Anger in the PDS" and "Bullying and the PDS".  If you work with students, as an educator, School Resource Officer, parent or other capacity, make plans now to join us in Orlando, July 29-30 to learn from others in the field how your organization can be more secure from random and planed acts of violence.
