ALAMEDA, Calif.—Alameda school officials are expected to approve this week new anti-bullying lessons for elementary school students.
Members of the Alameda Unified School District are set to discuss Tuesday new instructional materials for students in grades 3-5 that will address bullying.
The materials would include a list of to-be-drafted books intended to tackle bullying issues based on race and ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, nationality and sexual orientation.
The proposed book list could come before the board in February, with teacher guides for the books to be determined during the spring.
The expanded lessons come after school officials in May approved instructions meant to address anti-gay bullying issues.
