KSDE Unveils Kansas Safe Schools Resource Center Webpage

The Kansas Department of Education unveiled the Kansas Safe Schools Resource Center (KSSRC) webpage . 

The KSSRC webpage will assist schools as they develop and implement a strategic plan to address bullying.  The KSSRC will help guide schools to resources relative to designing safe schools, bullying prevention and data resources. KSDE will also be providing technical assistance in the form of a "Safe Schools Summit" this fall. 

The State Board of Education will assist any school district deciding to offer grade-appropriate curriculum for character development programs.  KNEA offers resources on bullying , cyberbullying  and related topics .

The web page is partially the result of a law passed by the 2007 Legislature, which requires school districts to adopt policies prohibiting bullying on school property, in school vehicles, or at school-sponsored activities.  The bill further requires each school district to adopt and implement a strategic plan to address bullying, which must include provisions for training and education of staff and students.
