Harrisburg, Pa. - The State Secretary of Education is partnering with other officials in the area to announce an anti-bullying partnership. The partnership will offer a bullying consultation hotline for Pennsylvania students, families and schools. The hotline will allow people to develop strategies to deal with bullying. The Highmark Foundation gave $30,000 to help operate the line.
"Through this number, you call this service and they will connect your school and family to make sure you have the support needed to address any bullying issues across the state of Pennsylvania," said Pedro Rivera, Pennsylvania Secretary of Education.
Messages can be left 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with this system. The calls will be returned during business hours Monday through Friday.
