    (St. Paul, Minn) "Bullying is a serious issue. Schools must be places of safety where students are free from bullying and able to concentrate on learning," said Sen. Carla Nelson, R-Rochester. Sen. Nelson said that superintendents, school board members, principals, teachers, parents and students have all expressed desires to stamp out bullying and wish to see locally driven policies and not a state driven unfunded mandate. “‘Stamp Out Bullying’ (SF2411) is a result of those conversations,” added Sen. Nelson, a former Rochester teacher. "Stamp Out Bullying” is modeled after A++ rated legislation (www.stopbullying.gov) and the North Dakota model called for by Attorney General Lori Swanson. It has already received support from the Minnesota Association of School Boards. Sen. Nelson said, "For any policy to be successful, it must be able to be implemented by our school districts, retain local control and not become an unfunded mandate. While school policies cannot stop all bullying, they can create a culture opposed to bullying. Let's work together to help our schools be the bastion of safety where every child is free to maximize their learning potential and become the prepared leaders of tomorrow we so desperately need," concluded Sen. Nelson.
