Stopping School Violence: One Teacher’s Silent Scream

On April 20, 1998, one year to the day before Columbine High School became a school synonymous with death, Ms. Carlino, sat in a closed-door hearing listening to two experts explain away her urgent safety concerns for the school where she taught. This is when she knew something serious was wrong, and something needed to be done.

Through this book, Ms. Carlino exposes the flawed methodology and approach in bureaucracy that is putting our children, teachers, and ultimately our communities at serious risk. Where one voice is silenced, the many won’t be. Let this book take you on a journey and empower you to stand up in your own community and create an action plan to make a difference and stop school violence.
