Mariposa County Project Respect (MCPR) is a community-wide effort to end bullying in Mariposa County. To that end, MCPR is committed to creating a safe, trusting, community environment of mutual support, kindness and respect.
MCPR realizes that it will take a community-wide approach to end bullying and that bullying is not just a school problem. Our strategies include:
Professional Development As adults learn more about the dynamics of bullying and how to intervene when the see it, we will be able to better meet the needs of the youth in our community. Trainings will be provided for all adults, including: teachers, yard duties, bus drivers, parents and community members who work with youth beginning in the Winter of 2006-07.
Student Education The Steps to Respect Curriculum has been adopted and will be implemented in elementary and middle school classrooms starting the Spring of 2007.
Administrative Support The Mariposa County Unified School District and Mariposa County Board of Supervisors have adopted resolutions to show administrative support for these efforts.
Community Awareness A campaign has been launched in the community featuring posters, banners, bumper stickers, stickers, newspaper ads, and more to increase the community’s awareness of bullying and what can be done about it. A series of articles is being published by the Mariposa Gazette and other local news sources and newsletters to inform parents and community members about the various aspects of bullying. As the Project expands, this website will provide information and resources for everyone in the community to use.
Mariposa County Project Respect is a community-wide project of the Mariposa County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council and Mariposa County Unified School District. Funds for these materials have been generously provided by the CA Partnership to End Domestic Violence and the San Francisco Giants Community Foundation.
