About the task force
The Community Task Force on Safe Schools met for seven months beginning in June 2016 in an effort to better understand the dynamics contributing to incidents of violent youth behavior in schools and recommend community-based solutions to improve safety in schools for students and staff.
The task force was made up of nearly 40 parents, students, teachers, school resource officers, youth workers and others with firsthand knowledge of the struggles our youth face and the types of behavior adults are challenged to respond to. Members (PDF) were selected because of their diversity of personal and professional experience, direct involvement with youth, and commitment to finding actionable solutions. The group was designed to be geographically and demographically diverse and representative of our community in Ramsey County.
