The District’s Anti-Bullying Policy 5900 helps to ensure all BCPS students feel safe and respected while attending school. Key to this goal is the Policy’s requirement that every school have a Prevention Liaison (PL). The PL is responsible for the dissemination of prevention curriculum related to the strands of prevention (diversity, violence prevention, substance abuse prevention, instructional strategies, health and wellness, Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports).

DIRECTIONS FOR BCPS SCHOOLS

• BCPS Prevention Liaisons: BCPS PLs will receive bi-annual trainings administered by this department. The department will reach out to the PLs once the training dates are set.
• Principal Certification: By October 31, 2024, BCPS principals will designate their school's PL. BCPS principals will receive an email on November 1, 2024 with a KickUp link. Principals will electronically certify completion of all Policy 5900 mandates including the name of the PL via KickUp by November 10, 2024.

DIRECTIONS FOR CHARTER SCHOOLS

• Charter PLs will receive bi-annual trainings administered by this department. The department will reach out to the PLs once the training dates are set.
• By October 31, 2024, Charter principals will choose the school’s PL, then email prevention@browardschools.com the name of the PL, the PL’s contact information, as well as the name of the school. Principals will retain proof of email by November 10, 2024, to be provided upon request.

The Support Group Method (SGM) of Bullying Intervention does not replace, but complements a school’s anti-bullying policy and code of conduct discipline matrix. The SGM bullying intervention is an easily utilized tool that can be embedded into your school-wide efforts in a sustainable way. Incorporate SGM into school safety teams or have it used by individuals such as school counselors, peer counseling teachers, administrators, or before/after school care workers.

The success of any intervention method relies on effective training, fidelity of process, school-wide integration, documentation, and evaluation. So if your school is interested in being trained on SGM, watch the SGM Instructional video and contact us for further information. 

• BCPS staff GO TO OUR SGM FOLDER FOR FORMS and the VIDEO.
• Charter staff have their administrator download it from the department's Charter Hub.
