Anti-Bullying Information
Dear Roxbury Community,
Beginning in September 2011, new anti-bullying guidelines will be in effect in Roxbury Schools. Staff members have already been attending training sessions on the new law, and professional development will continue throughout the 2011-12 school year and beyond.
The Roxbury Board of Education has approved a new policy and regulation to comply with the state law:
