Governor Terry Branstad and Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds joined Sioux City Schools Superintendent Paul Gausmann and others Wednesday for a public forum on school bullying. Branstad says the programs at Sioux City West High School are setting the standard in stopping bullying.
Karter Jones was one of the students to participate, and he says learning that bullying is wrong starts at home.
The Iowa House and Senate each passed their own bullying bills last year and there was not compromise reached before the end of the session. Branstad believes a bill will be passed this session.
Sioux City West is one of three schools in the state the governor and lieutenant governor are visiting to learn what schools are doing to deal with bullying.
