Leading Toward A Safer School (LTSS) is a unique community school partnership designed to address the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of middles school students on the cycle of violence. The ultimate goal of LTSS is the development of concrete applicable strategies that remove barriers to learning by creating a safer school climate.

 

LTSS lays the critical foundation for moving toward a total school focus on creating on a safe and positive learning atmosphere. This is accomplished through collaborative partnerships with the specific goal of educating the school’s administration, faculty, students, and parents on the cycle of violence. The objective of LTSS is to implement and test a comprehensive series of methods and interventions for creating a safe school climate that is able to be replicated in other middle schools. LTSS works toward increasing the knowledge of relationship between gender and violence using three (3) major program components.
