MIAMI- Some 400 senior high students from Miami-Dade public schools will meet on Monday, Oct. 4, from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for a Student Summit on Nonviolence, at the Wyndham Hotel Miami, 1600 Biscayne Blvd.

The purpose of the summit is to give students a forum to discuss ideas for making schools safer, friendlier, and less threatening, and to empower them to help prevent violence in schools. Strategies will be developed by school teams, then shared with and implemented by each school's student body.

The summit is sponsored by State Rep. James Bush, III and School Board Member Robert B. Ingram in collaboration with the Wyndham Hotel Miami, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the Miami Chapter of the National Alliance of Black School Educators, and the Florida Martin Luther King Institute for Nonviolence.
