In a new report released yesterday, provincial auditor general Kim Adair says the number of violent incidents in schools jumped to 27,000 from 17,000 over the past seven years.

The report says the Education Department lacks a cohesive approach to preventing and addressing violence in schools, and Adair recommends it develop a provincewide strategy.

She said the province’s code of conduct for schools needs to be updated to better define violence and to offer more guidance to educators on how to deal with it.

Adair says 70 per cent of respondents to her office’s survey said they didn’t receive enough training to manage school violence, while many teachers said they often don’t report incidents because they fear the violence won’t be addressed.

The report says there was no record of action being taken regarding 26,000 of the 142,000 reported incidents over the last seven years.

 

 

Nova Scotia RCMP are reminding everyone to take your keys with you when you get out of your car, truck or SUV. Leaving your keys in an unattended vehicle can make it an easy target for theft. They also want to remind you to always lock your vehicle – even when it’s in your driveway, and even if you live in a rural community.
