Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
This past spring, Governor Deval Patrick signed the much anticipated
\nanti-bullying bill into law. The law, which includes strict mandates for
\nreporting all suspected incidents of bullying and cyber-bullying, is being
\nheralded as one of the toughest anti-bullying laws in the country. Where
\nschool districts up until now have not had a clear blueprint to follow when
\nincidents of bullying and cyber-bullying were suspected, this new law will
\nguide school districts in the identification, investigation and response to
\nincidents as they arise.<\/p>\n
Hanover Public Schools’ draft of the "Bullying Prevention and Intervention
\nPlan" is on the schools’ website. It may be found here: <\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.hanoverschools.org\/bullying\/pdf\/HPS%20Bullying%20and%20Interventi
\non%20Plan%20112410.pdf . <\/p>\n
Please consider attending the meeting to hear the School Committee’s
\ncomments and questions of this draft. The school committee will then open
\nthe meeting up to the public for comments.<\/p>\n
DATE: Monday, December 20, 2010<\/p>\n
TIME: 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
LOCATION: The Salmond School<\/p>\n
