StudentWatch: Spotlight on Youth Violence

In Plymouth, Massachusetts four girls have been suspended from school as the result of Columbine-like threats they posted on a social media site. The four girls, ages 15 to 17, were reported by a parent and a student after they viewed the threats on Facebook. Police are currently investigating the alleged online threats and stated they found no weapons in the girls’ lockers.

With PublicSchoolWORKS’ Student Safety Reporting System, part of its award-winning StudentWatch Suite, parents and students are provided with 24/7 online and telephone reporting tools enabling them to report issues that might impact the safety of students, staff, or property.
