Gray to announce anti-bullying plan

D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray is planning to announce a city-wide taskforce and other measures to combat bullying on Wednesday evening.

Hailed as a first, the “Anti-Bullying Action Plan” is to be led by the city’s Office of Human Rights. The four stages of the plan include the creation of a task force; the commission of a research report; the creation of a “model policy and standards”; and a forum on bullying for D.C. agencies.
