The Ohio/Kentucky/Allegheny Regional Office has been asked to participate in “Bullying” – A Town Hall Meeting, sponsored by Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio and Catherine Criswell, director of the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights in Cleveland.

The town hall meeting, designed specifically for students, will discuss the social, legal and psychological impacts of bullying and harassment and will feature a panel of students who have endured and overcome bullying.
