Reason for
request:
Reason for
requesting the records related to
Policies
and action taken for the harassment and bullying going on in school by the
Vancouver school board is that these records will be used to educate the
student about harassment. How they can avoid this. Based on the records I will
get to know what are main things which is responsible for bullying and
harassment in schools. So, I will focus on those points and educate family and children’s.
Student will be taught to
stay safe and stay in calm environment. Also, they can go on right track.
Bullying and harassment cannot be tolerated at school level, and it should be
encouraged to provide a safe, respectful environment to everyone in school. By
the count of incidents occur in Pattison high school, if it will be low count
than the same policies can be applied to other school in which higher number of
cases of bullying occur in other provinces.
Hi Jasleen, your request idea is really great. It is also very important as harassement and bullying issues in schools have always been present, and very often school boards might overlook it. Getting these records will only promote transperency and make sure the school is taking appropriate measures to address the issue.
ReplyDeletechoosing bullying and harassment idea is really good and first of all, Hi Jasleen. Nowadays, students are getting bullied on the basis of status and colors in schools , schools must take actions towards this issue.
