Meet the problem head-on. Adopt a zero-tolerance approach. Principals, administrators, and teachers should determine how much gang activity their school has and then take steps towards abatement. Many schools have policies, which address gang problems. These policies include some of the following: Banning specific clothing apparel, banning pagers and portable phones, or having a closed campus. School must work in conjunction with parents and local law enforcement officials to find as many resources as they can to battle the problem and help save these kids.

PBSO may contact you to obtain more information about your request and to better understand your needs. In addition, PBSO may review your request to determine:
  • Whether the requested accommodation(s) will be effective in allowing you the opportunity to participate in the service, program, or activity for which you are seeking participation;
  • Whether the requested accommodation is reasonable, or whether an equally effective alternative to the requested accommodation is available; and
  • Whether providing you with the requested accommodation would fundamentally alter the nature of PBSO's service, program, or activity or impose undue financial or administrative burden on PBSO.
In addition, in some cases, PBSO may consult with you in an interactive process to determine on a case-by-case basis what accommodations can be made. If PBSO determines that your requested accommodation would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity, or impose undue financial and/or administrative burden, PBSO may deny your request. However, in the unlikely event that occurs, PBSO will work with you to identify an alternative accommodation that allows you an effective opportunity to participate and/or benefit from PBSO's program, activity, or service.
NOW. Some parents, either through ignorance or denial, find out their son or daughter is in a gang when they get a phone call from a police department, hospital, or morgue. A child's getting into a gang is not an overnight decision. Parents should look, listen, and turn their awareness up a notch. Look at what your child is wearing, whom he or she is associating with, and whether there is an overall change in attitude towards you or life in general. Listen to what your child says, and especially to what others say. Is your child listening to gangster rap? As painful as it might be, listen to the music your child listens to or at least look at the CD label. Many parents turn a deaf ear or bristle when they hear from neighbors, other parents, and school personnel that their child may be in a gang. Your child may present himself or herself one way in your presence, and have a totally hidden gang life outside the home. Ignorance is no excuse. Look for the signs and then address the issue. Solicit help from others, and then take control. It can be done.
