Most Oregon Schools Removed From Safety Watch List
Portland, OR October 28, 2009
Most of the Oregon schools on last year’s safety watch list have come off of it - including one that had been on the list for four years. Rob Manning reports.
The federal No Child Left Behind law judges school safety by whether schools expel more than a certain number of students for things like fighting, or carrying weapons to school.
Schools are first put on a watch list. After three years or more on that list, they’re labeled “persistently dangerous” and have to allow students to transfer out.
McKay High School in Salem was on the list for four years. But it reduced its expulsions and came off the list this year.

bullying incidents. SchoolTipline prevents these incidents by promoting a safe environment in schools. Keeping schools safe is a difficult
