This
week the Palm Beach Post printed an editorial stating, “Palm Beach County’s
schools had the highest number of reported bullying incidents in the state,
with 748 reported in 2012-13.” They went
on to state that the next highest number was Miami-Dade with 541
incidents. G-Star School of the Arts is
proud of our anti-bullying and anti-drug record.
Our
G-Star School of the Arts for Film, Animation and Performing Arts has the
strongest anti-bullying and anti-drug policy of any school in Florida. We are in our 12th year and we have never had
a fight at our school. Our incidents of
bullying are near zero as well as drug use, and those are dealt with
immediately. We follow Supreme Court
case law and our methods have been observed by the Sheriff’s Department as well
as local police departments. We
developed our own program that no one else has.
This program has made our school one of the safest in the nation. As a result of not having to encounter the
fear of bullying and drugs in our school, our students are polite, kind, and
accepting of each other. We thank our
students and parents who appreciate the stand we take and the methods we use
because in a safe environment such as G-Star School has, the students can excel
in their education with freedom from fear of harassment.
