Abstract	This brief is one in a series aimed at providing K-12 education decision makers and advocates with an evidence base to ground discussions about how to best serve students during and following the novel coronavirus pandemic. It addresses one central question: How can schools create contexts that foster safety and prosocial behaviors in the wake of COVID-19 and the ongoing state of increased unrest over racial justice? In order to answer this question, the brief breaks down the issue into four points: (1) We can expect an increase of students, particularly Black students, experiencing and displaying behavioral dysregulation at school, as well as students whose behavioral challenges signal a need for support rather than disciplinary sanctions and policing; (2) Over the past 30 years there has been a dramatic rise in the prevalence of police officers stationed in school buildings; the overwhelming majority of officers have minimal training on practices that meet the developmental needs of children and youth; (3) Increased police presence in schools is associated with increased "detection" of security incidents, but there is no evidence that police in schools have increased student safety or improved school climates; and (4) There are large racial and ethnic disproportionalities in exposure to police officers in schools and in the negative effects of increased police presence in schools. Based on these points, the brief provides four strategies to consider and two strategies to avoid. [This brief was also a collaboration with the Trauma Responsive Educational Practices (TREP) Project.] (ERIC).
