by Dan White

A Roxbury, MA school — previously at the bottom of student achievement tests — has replaced its security guards with arts teachers.  As a result, the once failing school now as one of the highest student improvement rates statewide. How will this arts intensive school insure student safety? Dan White has some ideas.

Dan White lives in Nyack with his wife and son. When he’s not working as an editor in Manhattan, he draws and writes blogs at Sarah Loves Picnics and Uncle Otto’s Free Fun Coloring Pages.
