Responding to School Violence
with School Violence Experts

The Public Entity Risk Institute (PERI) is a nonprofit research organization that provides education and training resources on topics related to risk management and emergency management. PERI’s website, www.riskinstitute.org, offers free E-Training programs and a Publications, Tools, and Resources library with information on emergency planning and response, disaster recovery, school safety, workers’ compensation, and other key topics in risk management.

PERI also operates the PERI Data Exchange, a national database of public sector liability and workers’ compensation claims data for benchmarking and performance measurement. The Data Exchange is a voluntary program that allows participating organizations to compare their liability and workers’ compensation losses with their peers and learn from other jurisdictions.

PERI held a free online symposium to explore strategies for addressing violence in our nation’s schools. The program, entitled "Confronting Violence in Our Schools: Planning, Response, and Recovery," offered practical advice for dealing with school violence - not just the high profile incidents that make headlines but the real issues of school violence that schools and communities face everyday.
