SPS partners with District Attorney for Bullying Prevention Seminar

I am pleased to partner with District Attorney William Bennett to host a Bullying Prevention Seminar that we think will help school administrators throughout Hampden County better understand the proposed anti-bullying legislation, which the Massachusetts Senate voted to approve on Thursday, March 12. If approved by the state House of Representatives, the bill will require public, private and charter schools to develop plans to prevent bullying by December.

Springfield Public Schools and the Office of the District Attorney will feature Dr. Robin D’Antona, a renowned expert and author on bullying, at the upcoming seminar. School districts throughout Hampden County have been invited. In addition to the legislative topic, Dr. D’Antona will speak about the many other facets of bullying, including prevention and intervention.

Springfield Public Schools is pleased to forge this community partnership with the Office of the District Attorney to address a topic that will help school districts maintain nurturing and safe environments for our children.
