Bullying is defined in Indiana as overt, repeated acts or gestures, including verbal or written communications, physical acts, or other behaviors committed by a student or group against another with the intent to harass, ridicule, humiliate, intimidate or harm the other student. In 2011, legislators attempted to update the definition to include digital and electronic communications to address issues related to both bullying and cyberbullying, but the bills did not pass.

The document summarizes the funding challenges facing Breese District 12 schools. It notes that funding from local, state, and federal sources has declined in recent years. Breese D12 has the lowest tax rates in the county but has never previously asked for a tax increase. Despite low funding, the district received academic achievement awards in 2011-2012. Statewide, over 60% of districts face budget deficits due to funding cuts. The document suggests ways to increase community support and awareness for a funding referendum.

The document provides data on the school completion rate, graduation rate, enrolment, cohort survival rate, and retention rate of the school for two school years (2021-2022 and 2022-2023). The data shows that the rates are generally decreasing from SY 2021-2022 to 2022-2023, with the exception of the graduation rate which decreased slightly from 100% to 97%. Proposed interventions are provided to address external and internal factors affecting the rates.
This document analyzes statistics related to Indian education versus foreign education. It includes data from 2009-2011 on topics like children out of school, expenditures per student, enrollment rates, literacy rates, and dropout rates. Regression analysis was performed on literacy rate data and dropout rates were forecasted through 2014. Key findings were that India's education system needs reform to reduce the number of children out of school, literacy rates are growing with population but graduate rates remain low, and expenditures are lower for primary than tertiary education.
School Funding Basics: Special Education & Circuit Breaker Fundingjpm66
- Over 13% of students in the MURSD district receive special education services, with costs including teachers, aides, therapists, supplies, and tuition for out-of-district placements which average $66,000 per student annually.
- Special education funding comes from several sources like Chapter 70 aid, IDEA and Medicaid grants, but only covers a portion of costs. The Circuit Breaker program provides additional reimbursement for high-cost special education students, though the reimbursement rate has decreased in recent years and does not fully cover tuition expenses.
- While MURSD's out-of-district tuition costs have risen from $1.1 million to $2.4 million between 2007-2012, Circuit
Cyberbullying can take many forms including abusive messages, humiliating images or videos, negative gossip, and exclusion from online groups. It often occurs on social media, in chat groups, and online forums. Signs a child may be cyberbullied include changes in friends, hiding online activity, lower school performance, and mood swings. Nearly half of teens report being cyberbullied. In Australia, one in five children were cyberbullied from 2016-2017. To address cyberbullying, schools need clear policies, staff training, parental monitoring, and educating students that it is wrong.
The document discusses factors that drive demand for independent schools, including government policies, demographics, social forces, attitudes, competition, and economics. It notes that while independent school enrollment has grown nationally in recent decades, growth varies by region. Competition from public school reforms, charter schools, and other options has increased. Changing demographics and economics, particularly for upper-income families, also impact demand for independent schools.

This is a presentation made at the First International ODL Conference at UNISA, Pretoria. The findings were drawn from an evaluation of the SOFIE (Strengthening open and flexible learning to support educational access in contexts of high prevalence rates in SADC countries) project, which aimed to use Open Distance and Flexible Learning (ODFL) to reduce barriers to access and attainment among secondary school students in a context of high HIV and AIDS prevalence rates. Funded from the joint DfID/Economic and Social Science Research scheme, SOFIE was led by the Institute of Education, London, collaborating with three institutions in Africa: the Centre for Educational Research and Training, Malawi; the Institute of Education, Lesotho; and the South African Institute for Distance Education, South Africa. In a context where learners experienced disruptions to attendance and progression in school, the project implemented an affordable model based on a circle of support for vulnerable learners. The evaluation of the intervention produced mixed results with some significant improvements in the performance of students in mathematics, where the project had received notable support from the teachers and their association. The findings of the study point towards various policy and practice initiatives including increased monitoring and support of learners at risk of dropping out of school.

Nationally:
In 2008, there was a national reported number of suicide for those between the

The following is the ratio breakdown given from the CDC:
10-14 year olds = 215 suicides = 1.1 / 100,000 in this age group
15-19 year olds = 1,604 suicides = 7.4 / 100,000 in this age group

Statistical Ratio:
As reported by the Center for Disease Control (CDC)
Indiana:
Taking the total statewide student enrollment for 2009 / 2010 as the base number and
calculating that by 8.5* for every 100,000 then as a whole the state of Indiana can estimate
that 95 students would have committed suicide.
In consideration of the approximate number of students bullied in 2009 / 2010 it can be
estimated that 23 students may have committed suicide in Indiana because of bullying.
In Indianapolis it can be approximated that 13 had committed suicide overall with 3
having committed suicide because of bullying.

13. What is bullying?
13
Currently defined in Indiana as:
“overt, repeated acts or gestures, including: (1)
verbal or written communications transmitted;
(2) physical acts committed; or (3) any other
behaviors committed, by a student or group of
students against another student with the intent
to harass, ridicule, humiliate, intimidate, or
harm the other student.” (IC 20-33-8-0.2)
(c) 2012. Bully Prevention Alliance
14. What is bullying?
14
An attempt to change the definition:
In 2011 Indiana Senator Thomas Wyss and House Representative
Greg Porter attempted to make a legislative change in the definition.
That attempted change consisted of a constitutionally sound
inclusion of the word phrasing “digital and electronic
communications.” This was an important aspect for issues relating
to acts that fall under both of the blanketed terms of bullying and
cyber-bullying. Neither of these Bills made it through legislation in
that session but they will soon be resurfacing.
(c) 2012. Bully Prevention Alliance
15. What is bullying?
15
Having a constitutionally sound definition for any particular legislative Bill is
important so that those within our legislative, judicial and administrative
branches of government can make certain that those laws are maintained, held
in compliance and are justly carried out for those who reside in the community.
However, to put it more simply in this instance
Bullying and Cyber-bullying
are two blanketed terms used to cover specific actions intentionally committed
by an individual, or group of individuals, that are physical and / or
psychological in nature to which would purposely cause physical and / or
psychological distress / harm towards the intended targeted victim.
