As district schools began their “Week of Respect” this week, designed to address some of the social issues facing students, the Board of Education (BOE) also made the topic of bullying a priority discussion at its public meeting on Monday.
Building representatives, as well as students and parents from the community, joined district administration and the BOE for a tripartite presentation on harassment, intimidation and bullying (HIB) issues that have been thrust into the national spotlight over the past year.
In addition to Superintendent Daniel Fishbein’s biannual report to the board on investigations into bullying incidents throughout the district, representatives from Ridge School presented a video project in honor of the “Week of Respect.” Fishbein also outlined activities being conducted at individual schools to raise awareness of HIB issues.
