Cyber safety & Cyber bullying

Federal law calls for students to be taught about how to stay safe when using chat rooms, social networking sites, and to understand how to handle cyberbullying. This instruction is reinforced in our Florida State Statutes and in our Brevard School Board Policy. BPS requires two cyber safety lessons to be taught to every student within the school year. Below are supplemental resources available.
