Erwin High Parents & Guardians,
On September 1, 2021, Senate Bill 693 was signed into Law, effective immediately. This legislation aims to increase awareness of the signs of abuse in children and requires public schools to provide students with information on abuse and neglect with the goal of better supporting and protecting them. In the coming days, we will post educational posters near your school’s counseling/student services office. Also, we’ll be emailing an informational flyer to our students in compliance with this legislation.
The documents will cover topics such as warning signs of abuse or neglect, resources to contact for help, and information about the Say Something App, which is a statewide school safety reporting tool.
Keeping students safe in school, at home, and in the community is a team effort. Any person 18 years of age or older who knows or should have reasonably known that a juvenile has been or is the victim of a violent offense, sexual offense, or misdemeanor child abuse under G.S. 14-318.2 shall immediately report the case of that juvenile to the appropriate local law enforcement agency in the county where the juvenile resides or is found.

Accordingly, the Board prohibits all forms of bullying and harassing behavior, including encouragement of such behavior, by students, employees, volunteers, and visitors.
