Violence has no place in our schools.
In 2024, our Association shared some startling figures about the increasing frequency and severity of violent and aggressive incidents in our schools. There was an average of 22 violent incidents in our schools per day last year and incidents of physical violence or assault increased by 29% between 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.
Students are stressed. Children can’t learn if they don’t feel safe and secure.
Parents are worried about sending their kids to school.
Teachers are beyond frustrated. When they have to deal with aggressive behaviours, they can’t focus on what they came here to do – teach our children.
“My child should feel safe.”

“Please help make our schools safe again.”
