koh no 24 news

$5.6 million in grants are coming to the Nevada schools, to hire more than 160 social workers and mental health professionals. The grants are part of an anti-bullying initiative coordinated by the state Office for a Safe and Respectful Learning Environment. Eleven districts and six charter schools have won the grants, based on student surveys which helped determine which schools need it the most. Lawmakers approved major anti-bullying initiatives proposed by Gov. Brian Sandoval with the idea of promoting learning and preventing suicides.
