development within CCSD, the Public Education Foundation funded a parttime position.
Wells Fargo Bully Prevention Initiative Grant
($56,017.00)
Funding has been made available through the Wells Fargo Corporate Giving
Division to strengthen communities by improving human services, educational,
artistic, cultural, civic, and environmental programs. Clark County School District’s
(CCSD) Equity and Diversity Education Department (EDE) is applying for funding
through Wells Fargo Corporate Giving Division to decrease bullying incidents and
increase implementation of bullying prevention strategies.
Wells Fargo provides funding to nonprofit organizations, public schools, and
qualified tribal and governmental agencies that provides programs for low- and
moderate- income individuals and families. EDE seeks partnership with Wells
Fargo to establish a Bullying Prevention Initiative project.
The primary goals for this project are:
 Increase the knowledge and awareness of bullying prevention for administration,
teachers, parents, and students.
 Create a safe and bully-free educational environment to contribute to student
achievement.
