Teaching is an incredible profession with big rewards beyond the paycheck. Teachers and educators and school staff are shaping the future of our communities. Schools are a place of learning and although lately there seems to be more and more violence, schools should be the one place that teachers and students feel safe.

A law that has been in place for more than 10 years now includes schools here in New York State.

According to reports, a workplace violence prevention law has been expanded. It requires elementary and secondary public education facilities to complete a workplace violence policy statement and violence prevention program by May 3rd.
