Avon Maitland District School Board (AMDSB) is implementing it's character program this year, using ten positive attributes to pro- mote good citizenship. Mike Ash, system princi- pal in charge of information services for AMDSB says there has been a high focus on bullying in the last few _years. A survey circulated last spring helped develop thecharacter plan. Other programs include Imagine a School Without Bullies, RespectEd and Virtues. "Bullying is a problem regardless .of what school you are in," says Ash, adding the degree of the problem depends on the to combat bullying community and school cul- ture and how hard students, teachers and parents are working to stop it. Bullying becomes less prevalent in the summer months because of vacations and less face to face contact, but always becomes an issue again in the fall. In rural areas with kids communicating more and more outside of school on the internet, the chances of online bullying increase, although it remains rela- tively small in number of instances compared to ver- bal or social bullying.
