In an effort to stop and protect students from bullying, School District 8 is mulling over implementing an anti-bullying program created by The Red Cross.
Stacy Coy is with the Red Cross and she tells CHSJ News the program is effective because not only do students teach the program to their peers, it promotes a lot of dialogue.
She says research shows that youth involvement is the most effective strategy as they know they the ins and outs of the bullying problem.
School Districts 6 and 18 have already used the program.
