While we are still waiting for details on the signing of Jeff's Law, that doesn't mean that we are just twiddling our thumbs. I have received an invitation to New York to speak at the National Cyber-bullying Conference being hosted by Wired Safety. This is a wonderful opportunity to network with other organizations from around the country about plans to take Jeff's Law to the national level. I am hearing a great many plans from districts around the state for implementation, but it appears that the looming budget cuts will impact funding for training efforts along with everything else. I think it would be short-sighted to imagine that the state will carry out any training at all if we don't make the connections, and if the public isn't solidly behind the effort every step of the way. So I am off to New York to spread the word, and ask for help. Keep us in your prayers.
Hugs,
Debbie
