Bullying and School Safety
Combating Bullying
- Clear Anti-Bullying Policies: I will advocate for comprehensive policies against all forms of bullying with clear consequences and support systems for victims.
- Education and Awareness: We need to educate students about respect, inclusion, and the impact of bullying through proactive programs and classroom discussions.
- Support for Victims: Providing counseling and peer support for those affected by bullying is essential to help them heal and feel safe again.
- Empowering Staff: Teachers and school staff must be trained to recognize and address bullying and to create inclusive environments where every student feels welcome.
Ensuring School Safety
- Physical Safety: We must ensure secure campuses, effective communication systems, and adequate supervision to protect students.
- Cyberbullying Prevention: With the rise of digital bullying, our schools must provide education on safe online behavior and have clear protocols for handling online harassment.
