Excerpt
Excerpt: Joint message from the Secretary, U.S. Department of Education, and from the Director, U.S. Secret Service Since June 1999, the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Secret Service have been working as a team to try to better understand?and ultimately help prevent?school shootings in America. When we began this collaboration nearly three years ago, we did not know what information we might uncover in the course of our joint study on targeted violence in schools, known as the Safe School Initiative. However, throughout our collaboration, our two agencies have focused on one common goal: to develop accurate and useful information about prior school attacks that could help prevent some future ones from occurring.
