Dear Superintendent Flores,
Bullying is a worldwide issue that needs to be undertaken and resolved. This hateful act usually starts at a young age and persists into adulthood. Many students at different levels of schools are experiencing some type of bullying and we need to put a stop to it. It is affecting the students well being: socially, psychologically, and academically, making the student from preforming at their full potential academically.
The current Gilroy Unified School District policy on bullying does a great job in recognizing the effects and consequences that students will receive if they are the ones perpetrating the bullying. This current policy explains the strategies that school employees should attend to if they see students perpetrating some form of bullying. Overall, the current policy does a great job of recognizing bullying and setting the correct procedures in preventing it.
Without setting specific guidelines on what should be done about bullying, we should, instead start identifying other things in where we can help out school counselors. We need set proposals on what should be done to prevent bullying and bring more awareness to this issue. I therefore submit the following proposal regarding bullying, and how we can slowly bring a complete stop to it.
Respectfully,
Bullying
A Proposal For the awarness of more programs available for identifying the bully
