In response to the recent Massachusetts Anti-Bullying Law, the School Committee recently instituted an anti-bullying policy and created a new website devoted to bullying prevention.
A task force composed of about 30 students, teachers, parents, school officials and police officers led by Deputy Superintendent Paul Stein wrote the policy beginning in April. The task force was divided into two groups, with one working on a new anti-bullying curriculum and website, and the other focusing on the policy and procedures.
