OCDE bullying prevention program promotes inclusivity and the power of ‘One’ |
More than 1 out of every 5 students will be bullied this year, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics. And while experts have reported that bullying decreased when schools were closed due to the pandemic, many say the return to school will almost certainly change that trend. With October recognized nationally as National Bullying Prevention Month, we reached out to OCDE’s Bullying Prevention team, who has been working to spread messages of unity, kindness and inclusion as students adapt to in-person instruction and new social situations on campuses throughout Orange County.

Students, staff at mostly rural districts part of one-day vaccine protest |
Thousands of California school staff and students didn’t attend school Monday in protest of a state order that requires all K-12 students to be vaccinated against Covid-19 by July. Social media posts calling for a “school walkout” began circulating a few weeks ago. Some posts urged parents not to call their children in sick but rather to tell the school attendance office that their children were being kept out of school to protest the vaccine mandate.
