The Connecticut Pretrial School Violence Prevention Program — Polish is a comprehensive program designed to prevent violence in schools. It includes an application process for schools to apply for support, an order to assess the risks of school violence, and a disposition to determine the best course of action for addressing the risks. The program also includes educational resources to help schools and parents develop effective prevention strategies and guidelines for responding to incidents of school violence. The program has three distinct components: Application: Schools must complete an application to be considered for support from the program. The application requires schools to describe their current security measures, their plans for preventing and responding to incidents of school violence, and any specific needs they have regarding school violence prevention. Order: The Connecticut Department of Education will assess the risk of school violence in each school based on the information provided in the application. The order will determine the necessary steps for each school to reduce risk and create a safe learning environment. Disposition: The disposition is the final step in the process. It is used to determine the best course of action for addressing the risks identified in the order. This includes recommendations for additional security measures, prevention strategies, and responses to incidents of school violence.
