Violence in Schools
In the 2023-2024 school year there were 5366 reported incidents of violence directed towards staff, for an average of 537 per month, or 28.8 per day.

The elimination of violence is elementary schools remains a top priority of the ETFO Thames Teacher Local.

We continue to call for an anti-violence action plan, and that determined steps be taken to address disruptive student conduct to make schools safe and peaceful for all.
