 * Notes from Elementary sub-committee meeting 1/5**

We thought this survey was meant to be a baseline survey re: bullying. We called Janeen to clarfy. She explained that this is a //general school climate survey//...and that once we select a bully prevention program the students would complete another survey that is specific to bullying (in the fall).
 * Survey Recommendations:**

We think it's important for teachers to read each question of the survey to their students. We need to create an introductory statement that introduces students to the topic of the survey so that the teachers reading it are consistent.

Prior to the meeting we began researching some research based bully prevention programs. We were surprised that the state does not have a list of those that meet with its approval. We found Olweus, Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support System, Welcoming Schools, and PeaceBuilders.

We discussed an upcoming workshop called **Positive Behavior Support in Schools: Bully Prevention** to be held on February 4th at Rowan University. Judi, Shannon and (possibly) Zanthia will be attending.
