Introduction

Welcome to our website for the New York State Extended School Day/School Violence Prevention Programs. We have attempted to make this site user friendly for students, parents, school staff and interested people in the community. The website will serve to update you on the latest vital information regarding violence prevention strategies, will link you to a host of useful education and family-related resources, and will promote networking on a day-to-day basis. We encourage you to take advantage of this site, and to join us in this critical effort to ensure the safety and well being of our children.

"As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him. Always avoid violence. If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in your struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.”
----Martin Luther King, Jr
