Hearn: Bullying Report Concerns CSB

CSB Chairman Tom Hearn : The School Board takes the report quite seriously as well as the bullying problem in our schools. We invited Mr. Wessler into the schools to study the problem and the Board and administration will look at policies and programs to address the serious concerns outlined in the report. Mr. Wessler will be speaking to the school board this evening at our monthly meeting at 5PM in the districts Midtown Center Meeting Room. He will also be speaking at the Kroc Center in a public event at 7PM on Wednesday. The public is invited and we value citizen input in this and all school district policies and programs.
