ADVISORY/Experts Available to Discuss Provision on ``Persistently Dangerous'' Schools.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE) TOPIC: A provision of President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act will allow students who are victims of violent crime at school to transfer to a safer school with no questions asked, according to an article by USA TODAY. The provision requires that a school be labeled "persistently dangerous," which should prove complicated as each state must define the term for its own schools. Some experts say states could set the requirements so high that few schools will qualify under the term. While some experts fear that such a provision would result in school violence being underreported, others retort that such incidents would be difficult to ignore or hide and that it is the best interest of the schools to report them, the article says.
