Supporting policies of zero tolerance for weapons on school property, facilitating student con-nectedness to the school community, and serving as a positive role model are all strategies that the nurse can use to prevent violence in the school setting. Student connectedness is encouraged if students play sports at school rather than with area clubs. Locking up and protecting personal property is not an effective strategy to prevent violence.
