Each year in the United States, one out of every 14 students suffers a school injury serious enough to require medical attention.
Preventing School Injuries: A Comprehensive Guide for School Administrators, Teachers and Staff examines how and why students are injured in schools and in situations for which school districts can be held responsible.
The book by Marc Posner provides a quick response to injuries that occur despite efforts to prevent them.
Topics include emergency preparedness and crisis management; violence and suicide; school bus, car, bicycle and pedestrian injuries; playground injuries; sports and physical education injuries; and vocational education, lab science, industrial arts and art program injuries.
The book, priced at $34, is available from Rutgers University Press, 100 Joyce Kilmer Ave., Piscataway, NJ 08854-8099; (800) 446-9393.
