Edison Peer Protection Program Data
2^nd Semester (3^rd Nine Weeks)
2008-2009

At the end of each nine weeks, students participated in the Peer Protection Program by completing survey’s which identified bullies, victims, and “hot spots” in the building.  Data from these surveys is processed each nine weeks.  Following the first nine-week data collection, lists of the three areas assessed were provided to administrators, faculty, and staff.  Administrators met with and called parents of those students who were listed on the bully list four or more times while the school counselors met with students who were identified as victims 3 or more times.

Data from the 2nd nine-week surveys revealed that 41 students were identified by their peers as participating in bullying behaviors as defined by the counseling staff.  Identified students who participated in bullying behavior decreased to 34 in the third nine week surveys with 6 students mentioned three or more times.  One out of the 6 students had been listed multiple times which resulted in school discipline. As a result, the other five students were not individually addressed by administration for bullying behaviors in the 3rd nine weeks.

There were 28 students listed as victims for the second nine-week grading period and this was increased to 32 students being listed third nine weeks.

Five locations were identified by students as hot spots for bullying behaviors: classroom, hallway, restrooms, lunch, and on the bus.  The two main hot spots in the building are the classrooms and hallways.
