November 3: Last spring Governor Deval Patrick signed legislation intended to prevent bullying in schools across our state. The legislation requires each district to submit a Bullying Prevention and Intervention Plan to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) by the end of December. The district has convened a committee composed of staff members, parents, students, and community members to create this plan. To create a plan that accurately reflects Hopkinton’s context and needs, we need to know the perspectives of a cross section of staff members, parents, students, and community members. RSVP to: focusgroups@hopkinton.k12.ma.us.
