Recommendations

• Districts should include a climate assessment in their annual evaluation processes

• Schools should identify one or more key areas on the basis of these assessment findings

• Parents should be encouraged to participate in discussions on the improvement of school climate

Page 15: Presented By: Winton I. Goodrich Vermont School Boards Association Winton I. Goodrich Vermont School Boards Association Preventing Bullying and School

Recommendations

• Students should engage with members of the school community to

address climate issues

• School officials should engage members of the community about ways in which they can participate

• Boards of education should establish clear policies to create a positive school climate
