Hanover’s bullying prevention and intervention plan

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

This past spring, Governor Deval Patrick signed the much anticipated
anti-bullying bill into law. The law, which includes strict mandates for
reporting all suspected incidents of bullying and cyber-bullying, is being
heralded as one of the toughest anti-bullying laws in the country. Where
school districts up until now have not had a clear blueprint to follow when
incidents of bullying and cyber-bullying were suspected, this new law will
guide school districts in the identification, investigation and response to
incidents as they arise.

Hanover Public Schools’ draft of the "Bullying Prevention and Intervention
Plan" is on the schools’ website. It may be found here:

http://www.hanoverschools.org/bullying/pdf/HPS%20Bullying%20and%20Interventi
on%20Plan%20112410.pdf .

Please consider attending the meeting to hear the School Committee’s
comments and questions of this draft. The school committee will then open
the meeting up to the public for comments.

DATE: Monday, December 20, 2010
