The Next Federal Investigation – Minnesota School District

By: Awareity
On: July 20, 2011

 

In case you missed it, federal authorities are investigating “incidents involving harassment and bullying” in Minnesota’s largest school district.

The civil rights investigation is underway in Anoka-Hennepin, a suburban Minneapolis school district, and based on the seven-month “landmark federal investigation” that recently ended involving Tehachapi Unified School District in California, the Office of Civil Rights is serious about protecting the rights and safety of students.

School leaders at every school in the U.S. should be taking a serious look at their ability to prevent the preventable involving harassment, bullying, cyber bullying and other alarming trends in schools.  School leaders should review their ability to prove they are following guidance outlined in the October 26, 2010 Office of Civil Rights Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), because recent resolution agreements make it clear the OCR is enforcing the DCL that was sent to K-12 schools and Higher Education institutions too.  (A federal investigation was just completed at Notre Dame too)

One suicide is one too many!  The federal investigations at Tehachapi and Notre Dame involved student suicides and at Anoka-Hennepin, there have been a string of 7 suicides in less than 2 years.

Now is the time to lead by example, not with words or new policies.

Now is the time to replace outdated status quo methodologies with 21st century platforms that empower schools (leaders, faculty, staff, students, parents, community members, etc.) to prevent the preventable.

Now is the time to start doing more than the minimum necessary.

Now is the time to start listening, investigating, intervening, preventing and making a difference.
