Maintaining <br /> attention was a big hurdle for 7t" graders, so she made it more interactive and engaging with <br /> some role-playing exercises. Seventh grade has proven to be difficult for many students and <br /> doesn't get talked about much. Now with cyber bullying, they also delve into how to advocate <br /> and avoid being a bystander. This year peer mediation was added to the Peer Leader <br /> program, should a conflict arise and a resolution is needed. <br /> Richard Klein inquired about students volunteering around Christmas time for the <br /> Congregational Church. The church will donate $2,000. Ms. Hanscom stated one year a class <br /> helped with parking at the Barnstable County Fair and that class received a donation. She will <br /> point Mr. Klein in the direction of someone who can help. <br /> Civil Rights Symposium <br /> Officer Michael Moulis attended this training on August 28t" in Norwood, MA. The MPTC <br /> (Municipal Police Training Committee) hosted the training. This was attended by 400 police <br /> officers across the Commonwealth. They talked about survivors of hate crime, tragedies, and <br /> touched upon non-profit outreach and education. This captured the US Attorneys, FBI, and <br /> families that joined via Zoom, everyone had perspective to provide. Police officers don't often <br /> prioritize a family that is suffering or focus on their needs in the moment, the priority might be a <br /> crime or collecting evidence. These families are urging the police to be more mindful. It is <br /> important to build partnerships with victimized communities and encourage them to come <br /> forward. <br /> During the investigation portion, META spoke about how difficult it can be for law enforcement <br /> to identify and establish a hate crime. When labeling a hate crime or incident, whether civil or <br /> non-criminal activity, one must support the victim or survivors, support families, and be <br /> thorough. Civil and hate crime are some of the hardest and labor intensive. <br /> Mr. Moulis' role is to be a liaison and resource for the community, alongside his fellow officers. <br /> He will often be aware if another officer takes a report in this area, and he will make himself <br /> available if needed. There is so much information and it is a big learning curve. <br /> There has been a 7% increase in hate crime. Nationally, 50% were motivated by race, <br /> ethnicity, or ancestry. This was broken down by class or population. For the reporting of crimes <br /> in general, the FBI is reliant on law enforcement to code correctly. For example, hate crime has <br /> its own reporting code. If crimes are not reported correctly the FBI will not accurately capture <br /> these issues. <br /> 3 <br />
