OTTAWA – A team of University of Kansas researchers is developing a model anti-bullying policy that will help Kansas schools develop similar policies. The Kansas Department of Education is providing the grant money for the study, which aims to clearly define bullying and implement evidence-based strategies for dealing with bullying-related issues. Researchers are in the process of developing a website that will be available to schools across the state. It will include examples of anti-bullying policies that help define what bullying is, how to recognize its multiple forms such as cyber, relational, and physical bullying, and how to address it among students.
