Update: Gangs in Schools Task Force. Report to the Legislature
Donlin, Mike
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
In 2007, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 5097, which required the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to convene a task force to examine how gangs are affecting school safety. The task force must annually report its findings and recommendations to the education committees of the Legislature. The Gangs in Schools Task Force submitted legislative recommendations for several years. Ultimately, the Task Force chose to focus on three primary areas of activity, with direct impact on gang activity in schools: data, policy guidance, and training. This brief report provides an update status and the Task Force's recommendations to the Legislature.
