Spread the Word to End the Word 2015

by Attorney General Matt Denn

Delaware Attorney General Matt Denn joined students and staff at Smyrna High School's "Spread the Word to End the Word" rally, an event co-hosted by Special Olympics of Delaware to encourage tolerance among students and discourage use of the "R word."

In the first week of March, AG Denn released the second annual report on compliance by Delaware schools with state anti-bullying laws.

Among other things, the report finds that the state's efforts to require schools to communicate with parents about bullying incidents are showing success, but that the state's evidence-gathering practices regarding bullying are in need of reform and that school districts and charter schools are not consistently complying with their obligation to direct students and parents to help when bullying occurs.
