“Our alarming nationwide statistics mandate both state and local preventative responses. The stakeholders are many and extend far beyond the students, the family and the educational system. Juvenile Judges are uniquely positioned to raise community awareness, energize, mobilize and engage these diverse community stakeholders in order to effectively collaborate and address these critical concerns.”
