Ontario asks police for proposals to combat school bullying | Posted | National Post
The Ontario government has called on police services throughout the province to submit proposals for a new program designed to counter bullying.
Under the $1.68-million Safe Schools Grants program, unveiled Tuesday, police and local schools will team up to educate students on everything from anger management to safe usage of social networking sites.
Police services can receive a maximum of $50,000 per project, with grant recipients to be announced in a few weeks.
“We know that no school is immune from instances of violence or bullying. What’s important is how we react as a school, as a community, as a province, to help guide our youth on the right path,” Community Safety and Correctional Services Minister Jim Bradley said during a news conference at Don Mills Collegiate Institute.
