The goal is the same but City Police and School District 8 don't necessarily agree on what is the best approach to bullying.
Police would like schools to be more consistent in how they deal with it but the new superintendent in School District 8 Micheal Butler says schools can differ in their makeup and therefore so does the response so a cookie cutter approach he doesn't believe would work.
The school district says the number of reported incidents of bullying is down and it's happy with the way the staggered start to the school year went with the grade nine students, many of whom are subjected to hazing.
A new programme has been introduced in elementary schools called WITS which is about walking away and talking it out but it's too soon to say how it's working out.
