This comprehensive website has specic portals that include targeted facts, information and resources regarding bullying and cyberbullying. This website is prominently featured on all materials. "Bullying in schools continues to be a serious issue and has damaged, often irrevocably, the lives of so many children and their families. Awareness and education are critical tools in addressing the issue," said Council Member Paul Vallone. "I applaud Vallo Transportation for continuing to take initiative in combating bullying and fostering an atmosphere of respect among students." “As a local school bus company, our mission is rst and foremost to keep students safe. This campaign reinforces our commitment to safety and demonstrates our efforts in creating a supportive school bus climate. Our drivers receive special training annually on this topic to ensure they can properly identify, report and respond to bullying behavior. Additionally, we promote resources throughout the community with the hope that together we can put an end to this unwanted behavior,” said Linda DeSabato, President, Vallo Transportation.
