Bullying Prevention Conference
The Marcus L. Ruscitto Charitable Foundation, in alliance with the Pittsburgh Foundation and educational partners including the Pennsylvania School Counselors Association (PSCA), will hold a Bullying Prevention Conference on November 4, 2011, at California University of Pennsylvania (Cal U).
At the conference, the foundations will announce a request for proposal (RFP) for students, along with teacher and administrator approval, to develop creative approaches in support of antibullying education initiatives in southwestern Pennsylvania. They have made an initial commitment of $50,000 to fund the conference and the first round of grants associated with the request for proposal. The foundation will announce the proposals accepted for funding at the elementary, middle and high school levels in April 2012. “As the population most affected by it, we feel that students must play a key role in antibullying strategy development,” said Chris Sweeney, board member, Marcus L. Ruscitto Charitable Foundation. “We hope that access to these financial resources will galvanize peer students to take action and address this issue together with educators through the use of technology, new media and other unique approaches.” read more...
