OLD BUSINESS
The MLK celebration was very well done. Many liked that the program had gone back to
its "roots" a t AME Zion.
Labels for" The Icons of the Civil Rights Movement" will be donated by the Southold
town Anti Bias Task Force. We will ask the town for 15 so that all the schools on the
North/fork will be covered.
Erase Racism- Carolyn will update us re: training at our next meeting.
There is ongoing discussion as it relates to missing student who had been a victim of
bullying in/Southold Schools as well as another incident brought to the task forces'
attention via Nydia re: a kindergarten student in Southold being bullied and even though
it was brought to a teacher's attention there was no response known.
ABTF wants to address bullying programs in school/and their Code of Conduct. It is
known that Greenport had A Rachel's challenge program. Suggestion is made to have a
poster contest the theme will be "Why Bullying is BAD". (maybe May?.)
The ABTF will have an award given at a Town Bd. meeting. There will be a follow up
on programs and accountability.
POLICE: ABTF would like to acknowledge officer Garcia as being very responsive to a
family's distress. Mike and Joy will write a complimentary letter.
