教育局已经收到了肯特·唐列维博士进行的独立内部审查报告。该审查的目的是评估教育局应对校园欺凌的政策框架和实践的有效性。

我要感谢唐列维博士进行这一重要的审查工作。教育局非常重视校园欺凌问题。每个学生的安全和幸福是我们的首要任务，我们正在仔细审查这些发现和相关建议，以便改进我们的工作。

总体上，唐列维博士发现教育法规定义的校园欺凌在教育局学校中是罕见的。他还报告说，教育局应对校园欺凌的规定和实践基本上是正确的。根据审查结果，我们相信我们的学校是欢迎、关爱、尊重和安全的学习场所。

但是我们还有一些工作要做。唐列维博士得出结论，我们对校园欺凌及其定义没有共同的理解。作为学区，我们需要进一步支持我们的教职员工、学生和家长，建立对校园欺凌及其如何一致应对的理解。唐列维博士还建议教育局对我们的政策和流程进行某些修订以提高清晰度，并向员工提供额外的培训和支持。

识别和应对校园欺凌是一项重要的工作，关系到我们所有人。校园欺凌不仅仅是教育局的问题，它是一个需要我们全体努力的社会问题。今天和每一天，我们将继续与教职员工、学生、家长、家庭和所有合作伙伴合作，支持学生的幸福。积极的人际关系是学生成功的关键，而我们的学习目标也支持这一点。

虽然我们目前正在研究这一审查及其建议，但我们已经在学校内采取了一些措施来解决这个问题。例如：

• 所有学校今年都被要求在其学校发展计划中确定一个幸福目标。幸福包括学生的社交/情感、身体和心理幸福。
• 学校已经审查了现有的政策和法规以建立共同的理解。

在2019-20学年中，我们将继续与学生、家长和教职员工进行对话，从他们的经验中学习，并征求他们的意见和建议以改进工作。与唐列维博士的审查结果和建议一起，这将指导我们今后的工作。

如果您担心您的孩子在学校的感受，与您孩子的老师进行沟通是至关重要的，及早发现和解决任何问题。

The CBE has received the independent internal review conducted by Dr. Kent Donlevy.  The purpose of the review was to measure the effectiveness of the CBE’s policy framework and practices to address bullying in CBE schools.  

I want to thank Dr. Donlevy for conducting this important review. Bullying is an issue that the CBE takes extremely seriously. The safety and well-being of each student is our top priority, and we are carefully reviewing the findings and related recommendations to see how we can do better.  

Overall, Dr. Donlevy found that that bullying as defined by the Education Act* is rare in CBE schools. He also reported that CBE regulations and practices to address bullying are fundamentally sound. Based on the results of the review, we are confident that our schools are welcoming, caring, respectful and safe places to learn.  

But we do have some work to do. Dr. Donlevy concluded that we do not have a common understanding related to bullying and its definition. As a school division, we need to further support our staff, students and parents to build this understanding of bullying and how to address it consistently. Dr. Donlevy also recommended that the CBE make certain amendments to our policies and processes to improve clarity, and to offer additional training and support to staff. 

Identifying and addressing bullying is important work that touches all of us. Bullying is not just a CBE issue; it is a societal issue that requires our collective effort. Today, and every day, we continue to work with staff, students, parents and families and all our partners to support student well being. Positive relationships are key to student success, and our well-being for learning goal supports this.

While we are currently studying the review and its recommendations, a number of steps are already being taken to address this issue within our schools. For example:

• All schools have ​been asked to identify a well-being goal in their school development plans this year. Well being encompasses students’ social/emotional, physical and mental well being.
• Schools have reviewed existing policies and regulations to build common understanding.

Over the course of the 2019-20 school year, we will continue to have conversations with students, parents, and staff to learn from their experiences and to seek their input and suggestions for improvement. Together with the findings and recommendations in Dr. Donlevy’s review, this will inform our work going forward.

If you are concerned about the way your child is feeling at school, talk to your child’s teacher. Regular communication with schools is critical to identifying and addressing any issues as early as possible.
