What can we do to prevent bullying in Kansas schools?
A Blue Ribbon Task Force was created in March 2019 by Dr. Randy Watson to investigate current bullying trends of students in Kansas. Through this task force they are asking teens to share their thoughts on bullying by accessing https://mewe.com/join/kansasblueribbontaskforceonbullying and providing their thoughts and experiences.
All comments and information received through the website will be shared with the Task Force and will be used to develop recommendations for the State Board of Education at their meeting in December.
How can we give all Kansas kids
the best start in life?
Parents of children of all ages, community and
business leaders, health providers, early childhood
providers, elected officials, and anyone who is
passionate about the future of Kansas children and
families are all encouraged to participate in these
community conversations. Please see the attached flyer for dates and times.
