But UFTers have been forcing the issue with administrators in Queens high schools. There, just as in the other boroughs where assaults on teachers have mushroomed and required suspensions for violent students never happened, UFT chapter leaders lit a fire under the DOE. They highlighted the problem and researched why violent students end up being returned to their classes. Then they took it to the streets. They also aggressively used the UFT contract to make the schools safer. Freiser said. They found that few suspension hearing dates were held or even scheduled. Even in the small number of cases where suspension hearings were completed, no centers existed to house the kids. Accumulating lists of incidents by date, time and student, Freiser and the borough chapter leaders found that in Queens regions 3, 4 and 5 no hearing dates were held.

Extractions: School Safety News School Violence A Major Concern Of Teachers And Students, According To Poll Unruly students and violence in public schools are more of a worry for teachers and youth across the country than demands for rigorous academic standards and achievement, according to a new study. Nearly half the teachers surveyed by Public Agenda , a liberal polling group in New York City, said they spend most of their time trying to keep order in the classroom. "More than four in ten [teachers] say that teachers in their school spend more time trying to keep order than actually teaching, and surveys of students show them reporting pretty much the same thing." "High school students themselves report that violence in school is a fact of life, with many saying that they have seen 'serious fights' in their school at least monthly since they've been there." The report says the Gallup Poll 2002 recorded 76% of respondents citing "lack of student discipline" as a "serious problem" in their local schools; 63% reported "fighting, violence and gangs" in their schools. In Public Agenda 's "Reality Check" survey of 3,207 students from 1998 to 2002, 40% of students said "serious fights in school occur once a month or more," while 56% said "hardly ever."
Extractions: Updated 20 August 2001 Timely Topics in Food Safety Current Archived Back-To-School Food Safety One of the safety precaution children are taught is to look both ways before crossing the street. Looking can prevent an accident. However, as hard as students look at their lunches, they won't be able to see harmful bacteria that may be present and could cause foodborne illness. That's the reason "bag" lunches brought from home must be handled safely from preparation to lunchtime. The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service has three food safety lessons for keeping bag lunches safe. They begin with "home" work. Lesson #1 Prepare and pack safe lunches at home. Lesson #2 Keep perishable lunches at a safe temperature cold or hot, but not in between on the way to school and until lunchtime. Lesson #3 Discard all used food packaging, paper bags and perishable leftovers. A new publication, Keeping "Bag" Lunches Safe , includes more information related to the three lessons. It can be printed from the

Help protect yourself and your new driver by mounting a " Learning to Drive " sign available from New Driver Safety Signs to the back of your car.

You, in turn, can feel better about your teaching experience knowing that you are providing the drivers around you with important information about who's behind the wheel of your car. Anyone teaching a new driver to drive, be it a teenager or a friend, can use our signs to help alert fellow drivers. Our ultra-removable adhesive signs attach easily to the back of your car and our window signs attach easily to the inside of your back window.
