A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO DECLARE THE MONTH OF AUGUST, 1999, AS "SCHOOL VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH" IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN ORDER TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THIS INCREASING PROBLEM IN OUR STATE, AND TO REQUEST THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO PROVIDE A REPORT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON THE STATUS OF SCHOOL VIOLENCE AND OTHER SCHOOL CRIME IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, school crime has been on the rise in the State of South Carolina; and

Whereas, one of the primary functions of state government is to promote public safety and provide for public education; and

Whereas, the General Assembly desires to promote public safety for the citizens of our State in part by focusing on the problem of school violence; and

Whereas, parents, members of the General Assembly, law enforcement officials, and school officials need to be educated on the issue of school violence and other criminal activities; and

Whereas, increased public awareness is needed to prevent school violence. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That, by this resolution, the South Carolina General Assembly declares the month of August, 1999, as "School Violence Awareness Month" in South Carolina in order to raise public awareness of this increasing problem in our State.

Be it further resolved that the Attorney General is requested to provide a report to the General Assembly by January 1, 2000, on the status of school violence and other school criminal activities in an effort to assist the General Assembly in promoting school safety.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Attorney General.
