A long process is now complete; the Portage la Prairie School Division has adopted a revised violence prevention policy.

Board Chair Helene Hoggarth explains the goal was to align their system with Workplace, Safety, and Health regulations. She stresses, though it was a very long process, it's excellent to have consistency throughout the province.

"It feels good to have it done," says Hoggarth. "It's the satisfaction that all of our schools are perceiving violence in the same way. The revisions just put a uniformity to it."
