Abstract

In order to effectively address the complex issue of school safety, school and community partnerships are being formed with greater frequency and intensity. Collaboration between educational, law enforcement, and mental health personnel is now widely considered to be the most effective means for addressing issues of school safety (Dryfoos, 1998; Research Triangle Institute, 2003) and all school violence prevention programs can be improved through meaningful evaluation (Flannery, 1998; Gajda, 2004). This article defines the essential characteristics of inter-organizational collaboration and offers a process that has been utilized nationwide to evaluate and strengthen school violence prevention efforts through the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative.
