Schools In Iowa, California Seek To Curb Teacher-On-Teacher Bullying

USA Today (4/7, Matheny) reports, "Most schools have policies that target bullying, but they are usually aimed at students. Now, school districts in Iowa and California are developing rules to prevent teachers from bullying teachers." USA Today adds, "The Sioux City, Iowa, community school district, which approved its policy last April, and Desert Sands Unified School District of La Quinta, Calif., which is awaiting final passage later this month, are believed to be the only two school districts nationwide developing anti-bullying policies for their adult employees, said Gary Namie, who, with his wife and fellow psychologist Ruth Namie, founded the Workplace Bullying Institute in Bellingham, Washington."
