Bullying Prevention Program: Guest speaker, Leticia Gomez from Pajaro
Valley Prevention & Student Assistance spoke about the Bullying Prevention
Program available to all PVUSD schools through the Safe Schools Healthy
Students program through a three year federal grant. (These funds have also enabled Bradley to
have a three hour playground supervisor and after school parking lot supervisor.) The Bullying Prevention Program is at no cost
to the schools, as PVPSA pays for everything through these federal funds (cost is
over $12,000 per school). The program
being utilized is the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, and it has been very
successful. Several handouts were
provided which outlined and explained the program. She explained the step-by-step program and
how it works, starting with an assessment for 3-6 graders. A committee is then made up of a teacher from
each grade level, at least one parent and a community member. They meet one time per month, after a two day
training. The program also includes how
to work with parents, how to intervene with the victim and the bystanders. A booster training is given at the beginning
of each school year and an assessment at the end of each school year. It was decided to try to get the assessments
done by the end of this year, so the committee can be formed and training start
early next year.
