What happened to the Olweus anti-bullying program at the Brownsburg Schools?
All Brownsburg schools now practice an expanded character education/anti-bullying program that maintains elements of the Olweus program. Olweus was the model that was initially implemented in 2006 at White Lick and Eagle then expanded throughout all of our elementary schools and with our elementary bus drivers. Being primarily an elementary program, however, made Olweus more challenging to implement with fidelity at the secondary level. To make certain all BCSC schools were practicing similar to identical programs the "Character Education" program was launched which provides an opportunity to teach/practice not only the anti-bullying message, but also what it means to be a good citizen.
