Public Act 98-669 and Public Act 98-801 were signed into law this summer and place enhanced requirements on school districts when dealing with bullying issues among students. Our district has addressed these issues annually and we will continue to be diligent in our efforts to eliminate bullying from our hallways, playgrounds, cafeterias, and classrooms. These laws include an outline of guidelines for schools, many of which our district has been following for years, including timely report investigations, follow-up, and access to social services. Also included are criteria for dealing with cyber-bullying that may occur outside of the school day but creates a negative impact within our schools. Our Building Principals will be discussing this information with faculty and staff, training has been made available, and information will be sent home to parents to the topic of bullying. Our School Board adopted a revised Board Policy on Bullying at our meeting in October.
