§  Developing staff training that meets the State requirements.

§  Discussing procedures for consistent reporting of, and responding to incidents of discrimination and harassment.

§  Creating a pro-active performance culture in which school adults model positive, supportive behaviors.

§  Reviewing direct instruction options for teaching students about civility, character education and citizenship.

§  Concerns of DAC’s, such as liability and establishing procedures that are thorough and manageable.
