book about school safety security After selling over 6,100 copies of Blauvelt…On Making Your Schools Safe, and Blauvelt…On Crisis Management, it became evident that these two volumes needed to be combined into one, that new material needed to be presented, and that some material needed to be updated. That is exactly what has been accomplished in Making Schools Safe for Students.

(Corwin Press, May, 1999 revised July, 2000)

The revised addition has a new section, Bullying: A Problem That Refuses To Go Away.

As the author, you need to know how excited I am about this latest effort. This represents my fifth book and it is by far, my best effort.

As always, I have attempted to make this three-ringer binder format, user friendly. I know how critical time is to the busy administrator, so I have maintained my previous style of writing Chapters that stand-alone.

Got a problem or want a suggestion, turn to that section of the book and you will find your answer. No theory, just time-proven practical solutions. There is nothing else like it on the market. Every administrator, from the rookie to the seasoned pro will benefit from reading Making Schools Safe for Students.

Even if you are one of the 6,100 owners of the two previous books, this newest effort has enough new material to be worth your investment of $59.95 plus $5.00 for shipping. For example it has a sample Crisis Management Plan that is worth its weight in gold. Well at least a couple of bucks.

As earlier promised, the CD-ROM which contains several chapters from the book plus the Emergency Management Plan is now available. The CD is designed with templates so all one has to do is enter the school name and the names and phone numbers of your Emergency management Team members. The plan can be changed to meet your individual needs. The good news is that you do not have to format your plan and the appropriate responses to a number of security issues. It will not only save valuable time but more importantly you will not have to create new language for dealing with issues.

If purchased separately, the book sells for $69.95 plus $5.00 shipping and the CD-ROM sells for $59.95 plus $5.00 shipping. If purchased together you will get both the book and CD-ROM for $119.90 plus $5.00 shipping a $10 dollar saving. Both the Book and CD are available through NASS. And the book is now out in Chinese from Chonquing University Press.

There is, as always, a money back guarantee. If you don’t like the book, send it back and your money will be refunded. Perhaps not cheerfully, but refunded never the less. That’s a promise from Pete, aka President, lecturer, author, high-handicap golfer, rogue, and bon-vi-vant.
