Report calls for anti-bullying co-ordinator The provincial government should hire an anti-bullying coordinator, more guidance counsellors, and make it explicit school officials have jurisdiction to combat cyber-bullying off of school grounds, according to a new report. Dr. Wayne MacKay, a Dalhousie University law professor and the province’s cyber-bullying task-force chair, presented findings from a 10-month investigation into electronic bullying on Thursday. MacKay said in order for his 85 recommendations to work, the province needs to create an office for an anti-bullying coordinator. “Our sense was it’s not enough to just add it on to
some existing job,” MacKay told reporters. “So we suggested a very significant recommendation that there be an anti-bullying co-ordinator, with an office adequately staffed, who is going to co-ordinate the various partners ... selecting the best programs and interventions and also ... monitoring (progress).” The report also suggests a one-to-500 ratio of guidance counsellors to students, as well as givDr. Wayne ing principals MacKay the explicit responsibility to address cyber-bullying problems outside school grounds. While Education Minister Ramona Jennex thanked MacKay and his team for the report, she was wary to commit to hiring any new administration for a department that has seen cuts year after year.
Quotable
“If you’re a part-time administrator and a part-time teacher, when do you get to address the issue?” Alexis Allen, president of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union
“We have a lot of resources already within the department and within school boards,” said Jennex. “Not all of the recommendations are going to be taken as they are written. We are going to be taking the spirit of the recommendations and work with our partners so we can fulfill the mandate of keeping our students safe.” But Alexis Allen, the president of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union, said school administration is already stretched thin.
