Searches in schools recommended: A panel investigation into school-based violence said the Toronto District School Board should consider using firearm-detecting canine units to randomly conduct "non-intrusive" searches of student lockers and all potential storage areas to ensure weapons are not being hidden, according to a leaked report that includes shocking revelations about the extent to which violence and sexual harassment are prevalent in Toronto schools. Nearly 1,000 pages in length, the final report of the School Community and Safety Advisory Panel, due out Monday, makes 126 recommendations to address school safety aimed at both the Toronto District School Board and the province, which, according to the report, is under-funding the education system.
