Bullying is such a menace that the state of Texas has passed mandates over the years that require school districts to address the issue in their discipline management programs, she said.
“The state of Texas wants those programs to include prevention and education concerning unwanted physical and verbal aggression, sexual harassment and other forms of bullying in school, on school grounds and in school vehicles, as well as cyberbullying,” Pfeffer said.
In response to the mandates, AgriLife Extension partnered with Texas Rural Mediation Services to develop a curriculum enrichment program titled “Take a Stand.” It targets students in all public school age groups, grades 1 through 12.
