Good news from Texas as the Texas House approved a bill to help kids from being bullied at school, and creating new requirements for schools to help prevent bullying. The Texas House Public Education Committee worked hard to get this important bill passed, and I am hopeful we might see something similar happen in Indiana soon.
Texas Representative Diane Patrick was quoted in the Star-Telegram newspaper saying that "Parents deserve to know that their children are within safe walls at school."
I couldn't agree more, and what Representative Patrick said this week is really why I work so hard to promote my Happy Kids Safe Schools platform. The prevention of bullying in Indiana schools really does start with safe schools, and I am eager to see the Texas Senate approve the measure that the House approved in a 94-41 vote.
I think this 94-41 vote is really telling, and it shows us that everyone really cares about Happy Kids and Safe Schools. Take a stand today and learn more by clicking my Happy Kids Safe Schools tab at the top of the blog.
