In response to high-profile bullying incidents in other communities and in advance of pending state legislation, school officials in Franklin have set up an antibullying task force, making it the latest local district to tackle the sensitive issue.

To be fair to the efforts of the Community Health Council that are and have been underway in this space for sometime, this is an 'extra' effort by the School Committee.
The Community Health Council has been active in this space with great progress being made particularly in the cyberbullying arena with Teenangels. Teenangels is a group of Franklin middle school students who under the guidance of
Lisa Keohane have been getting formal training, developed a questionnaire, an anti-bullying pledge, visited the State House and are about to take their efforts to students throughout the Franklin school system.
Additional information about the Community Health Council efforts can be found here.
