Bullying Prevention
The School District of Lee County utilizes the Second Step program to assist in preventing bullying behaviors. Second Step is a universal, classroom-based, social and emotional learning program designed to teach children how to understand and manage their emotions, control their reactions, be aware of others' feelings, and have the skills to problem-solve and make responsible decisions. Second Step is listed on the National Registry of Evidence-based Prevention Programs and is supported by the Florida Department of Education.
The Second Step program was made possible through funding from Suncoast Credit Union Foundation. The Suncoast Credit Union Foundation also proudly funds the Prevention Specialist position within the Student Services Department.
