Digital Smarts - Information Sharing on Cyberbullying Prevention and School Safety

Legislation introduced by US lawmakers proposes to establish a national database that state and local officials could use to discover best practices for school safety and cyberbullying prevention. Called the School Safety Clearinghouse Act, the bill includes federal funding and would provide educators access to recommendations from architects, engineers, first responders, mental health advocates, parents and building security experts. The clearinghouse intends to help educators make informed decisions about the safety of their students.
