At Jonesport and Beals Elementary School board meetings last week (Oct. 6), Superintendent Lewis Collins presented each three-person panel with a workplace bullying policy — separate and in addition to a previously approved student bullying protocol — made necessary, he explained, by a new state law. The nine-member board governing Jonesport-Beals High School will take up the matter at its meeting this week (5 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 13 in the high school library).
