During the spring and summer months, a diverse group of district and community members were invited to participate in a task force addressing current issues regarding bullying and school safety. Their goal was to define, identify behaviors, discuss positive responses and develop a district-wide system to provide a climate of change beginning with the 2010-11 school year.
 
One result of those meetings is BISD developed the "Safety Zone" website. This new website provides resources for students, parents and staff on how to report crimes, including bullying, to Crimestoppers; definitions of bullying, teasing vs. taunting, and flirting vs. sexual harassment; links to a variety of external resources; specifics on the district's Emergency Management Team; and information on the Community of Respect Everywhere (C.O.R.E.) initiative.
 
C.O.R.E. is an ongoing initiative throughout Birdville ISD backed by the philosophy that promotes positive and safe learning climates while developing responsibility, accountability and respect. Each of us teaches character education by the way we talk, the behaviors we model, the conduct we tolerate, the deeds we encourage, and the expectations we transmit.
