Video: New Effort Stops Bullies Keeps Kids in School

According to the CDC, 160,000 kids stay home from school because of bullying. A new program in Ely, Nev., is reducing the abuse and getting more kids on the bus and back in school, ABC News reports. The program at White Pines County School District started with a confidential survey that helped identify some of the biggest bullies in the school. Instead of punishing these bullies, a new principal is talking with them, trying to solve the problems at their roots. Thanks for the link, Diana!

    This is a great story that other schools should consider. I have forwarded the webclip to my middle school principals for consideration! Thanks.

We want this to be an open forum for the hundreds of thousands of people that help get students to school safely every day. We want to hear what you think, what's going on at your facility and what solutions you've found. But, please, keep it civil. Just like on the bus, we'll have no tolerance for attacks or anything defamatory. We won't write you up, but we'll delete the comments right away. So don't bother. But if you have something to share, this is your place.

Thanks,
STN Editors
