Our school district has conscientiously implemented the requirements found in the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act. During the first three years of implementation of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act, our school district/school has made progress in addressing and improving harassment, intimidation and bullying and the school climate and culture by implementing the Olweus program and a system of positive behavior support. The Self-Assessment helped our school district/school to identify areas for improvement. The district plans to further assess the strengths and vulnerabilities of learning by reviewing parent surveys.
