The summit was hosted by the New York City School Safety Coalition, a board that consists of parents and community leaders who advocates for the safety of children in and out of school.
In the wake of an increasing amount of violence that involved children in the city, such as the recent shooting by the Williamsburg Charter School and a 15-year-old boy who was stabbed after school in Kingsbridge Heights two weeks ago, the summit to showcased resources for the youths.
