TAKE HOPE

(NOT BULLIES)

BACK TO SCHOOL

Everyone loves Back to School; new teachers, new books and new school supplies! It’s a season of excitement and hope for a new year. At the Florida Ci�zens’ Alliance we want you to take Hope back to school, but don’t take a bully. Sadly, bullying happens and every incidence of bullying ma�ers. It ma�ers to the family of every student, it ma�ers to us and thankfully it ma�ers to the State of Florida.

Florida law recognizes that no student should suffer from bullying! Get help for your student by immediately repor�ng the incident to the principal. Remember any incidence of ba�ery, harassment, hazing, bullying, kidnapping, physical a�ack, robbery, sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual ba�ery, threat or in�mida�on, or figh�ng at school, at a school sponsored ac�vity, riding on the school bus or wai�ng at the bus stop should be reported right away. No student should suffer from bullying!

Once you report the incident, it becomes the school’s responsibility to solve the problem to your sa�sfac�on. That’s a key so don’t miss it. The school needs to come up with a solu�on that sa�sfies your concerns. At the same �me, the school should no�fy you of your Hope Scholarship op�ons. Then you decide what is best for your student: the solu�on the school supplies or a .Hope Scholarship The school will likely inves�gate the incident, but your student’s eligibility for a Hope Scholarship is absolute and does not depend on the outcome of any inves�ga�on. So take Hope back to school. No bullies allowed!
