Perception surveys were mailed to 100 randomly selected administrators from across the state of Texas, with 20 randomly selected from each size classification. Of these 100 surveys, 41 were returned. There was an even distribution of returned surveys across all five size classifications. Question four of the survey pertained directly to grade level and incidents of school violence. The question was answered on a perception survey scale of critical, serious, moderate, minor, and not a problem for each grade level. For each grade level, the types of school violence were specified as simple assault, terrorist threat, weapons possession, gang activity, aggravated assault, mutual combat fighting, sexual assault/aggravated sexual assault, and bomb threat.
