Bullying Prevention

To combat bullying in the Duval County Public Schools, all educators, faculty and frontline workers have undergone comprehensive training to ensure they could identify signs of bullying and know how to stop it.

Brian Giles, K-12 regional vice president of Chartwells, and Michael Mcauley executive director of Student Discipline Support for the Duval County School Board, join us to discuss efforts to prevent bullying in local schools.

We speak with Grimm about the volume, and its tie to Jacksonville's silent film past.
