From Jonesboro, Arkansas, to Littleton, Colorado, the past several years have seen frightening and dramatic examples of violence in our schools. As these and other harrowing incidents– from natural disasters to suicides– have become sadly familiar, communities have begun to expect their schools to be prepared to immediately respond to the aftermath of these crises. Authored by a group of school psychologists who have helped to implement crisis response plans in many school districts and facilitated numerous crisis response workshops, Preparing for Crises in the Schools presents a workable framework for a proactive response to tragedy. This completely revised and updated Second Edition reports the latest findings on initiating and implementing district-wide and building-level school crisis response plans. This step-by-step guide aids counselors, school psychologists, teachers, and administrators in developing an action plan for responding to the multiple issues generated by school crises. This invaluable planning tool includes: A chapter on the early detection of potentially violent students– with concrete ideas on how to proactively respond to the special needs of these youthAnecdotal vignettes illustrating actual school crises and the responses by school personnelA blueprint for crisis response training, including a complete in-service workshop designed to facilitate crisis intervention skill developmentGuidelines for responding to the unique opportunities and dangers presented by media attentionRecommendations for helping to ensure student and staff safety and security before, during, and after crisesSuggestions for assessing crisis response plan readinessGuidelinesfor debriefing and evaluating a school crisis response The future of our children necessitates that they enjoy a stable, peaceful learning environment.

The United States Supreme Court's 1954 landmark decision, "Brown v. Board of Education," set into motion a process of desegregation that would eventually transform American public schools. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of how "Brown"'s most visible effect--contact between students of different racial groups--has changed over the fifty years since the decision. Using both published and unpublished data on school enrollments from across the country, Charles Clotfelter uses measures of interracial contact, racial isolation, and segregation to chronicle the changes. He goes beyond previous studies in several ways. He draws on heretofore unanalyzed enrollment data covering the first decade after "Brown," calculates segregation for metropolitan areas rather than just school districts, accounts for private schools, presents recent information on segregation within schools, and measures segregation in college enrollment. Two main conclusions emerge. First, interracial contact in American schools and colleges increased markedly over the period, with the most dramatic changes occurring in the previously segregated South. Second, despite this change, even larger increases were prevented, owing to four main factors: white reluctance to accept racially mixed schools, the multiplicity of options for avoiding such schools, the willingness of local officials to accommodate the wishes of reluctant whites, and the eventual loss of will on the part of those who had been the strongest protagonists in the push for desegregation. Thus decreases in segregation within districts were partially offset by growing disparities between districts and by selected increases in privateschool enrollment.
