Identifying at-risk students and providing them with leadership opportunities to create a bullying prevention program

<p>The purpose of this study was to develop a bullying prevention program within Oakcrest High School. The bullying prevention program was established in accordance with the New Jersey State laws on bullying in schools. It was also created to be in accordance with regulations that determine whether or not schools qualify as a safe school.</p> <p>The program identified at-risk 10^th grade girls who have had a history of discipline issues and bullying type activity during their freshman year. The program provided these students with the opportunity to be leaders within their school community and in our sending districts. In doing so, the students' discipline records decreased by 10% compared to the previous school year.</p>
