Explanation:

The best way to revise sentences is to summarize the sentence so that unnecessary information is omitted, while still leaving important information a part of the sentence, all while making sure the sentence still makes sense.

The board of education, in conjunction with the city, student council, parents, and administrators, have come to the conclusion that measures should be taken to ensure the safety and security of all students, teachers, and administrators on public school campuses during the school day.

The underlined information is either not crucial to the overall statement, or can be revised in some way.

"have come to the conclusion" can be simplified to incorporate the past tense of conclusion and can be written as "have concluded".

The other underlined passages are not important to the overall statement because they provide unnecessary words to a statement that makes sense without it.
