$2,500 for a bullying reporting solution

The CyberBully Hotline from SchoolReach announced the establishment of the CyberBully Hotline grant program [1].  This newly created program for K-12 schools and districts will award $100,000 in grants to support the implementation of an anonymous bullying reporting solution [2] to help schools reduce and prevent bullying and cyber bullying episodes. Entries for the CyberBully Hotline grant [1] must come from districts or schools that have a high (31-50 percent) or very high (50 percent+) Free and Reduced Lunch rating. Grant applications, available online at the CyberBully Hotline Web site at http://www.cyberbullyhotline.com/grant-program.html [1], must be submitted by October 31, 2012.  Grants will be reviewed as the award committee receives them, and awarded until funds are exhausted. The maximum award per participant is $2,500 and the grant funds cover a 12-month service period starting from the date of service agreement signing. All terms and conditions of the grant program can be found at CyberBully Hotline grant program website.
