Dr. Jo Ann Freiberg, of the CT State Department of Education, presents on March 6th at 7pm in the High School Community Room. Dr. Freiberg is one of the preeminent experts in the state as it relates to issues regarding positive school climate and anti-bullying. She was also instrumental in working with the legislature in drafting Connecticut's original anti-bullying legislation and still advises the state in recent updates of these policies. As issues related to school safety and improving school climate remain central to our concerns for improving our students' experiences and performance in our schools, we are fortunate to have Dr. Freiberg present, answer our questions, and help us take the appropriate actions for moving forward. Please join us!! |
