Who is affected by this big problem?
Action we will take to get our proposed public policy approved
We are planning to promote our cause to groups such as parents of students,educators,or students themselves.They can help with spreading it to the school board or the local council such as the Maryvale representation. We can get them onboard so they can help us promote and advertise our cause to prevent any type of violence that could occur in schools. The larger the support we have is the more pressure it is on elected officials.
Why should people help to stop school violence? It would increase the safety of the students, and it would help the students, staff and people around the school feel safe.
We are planning to use the government funding so it can help fund this website and keep our resources up so people know about the dangers of school violence and how to prevent this type of violence happening in schools around the community.We are going to acquire this funding through registering for the funds. As well as filling all the requirements for whichever federal loan program we are applying for or through taxes. According to a Community member they say there is tax money being used for unnecessary things that can be redirected to help support our cause.
