UISD continues to take meaningful steps to combat bullying through innovative programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the district introduced an exciting new initiative, the UGLI Club, supported by the UGLI Foundation, an anti-bullying organization founded by Angela Garcia in Austin, Texas. The foundation awarded 17 UISD schools, 13 middle schools and four high schools, with $2,000 grants each to launch and maintain their own UGLI Clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UGLI, which stands for Unique. Gifted. Loved. Individual., empowers students to embrace their differences while promoting compassion and respect across campuses. In addition to the grants, the UGLI Foundation provides participating schools with branded merchandise, a comprehensive club activity guide, seasonal programming and access to informational webinars for teachers, administrators and parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a partnership with Lightspeed Systems, the UGLI Foundation is also implementing online anti-bullying efforts for UISD through a $50,000 technology grant. It is the first of its kind, and it will further strengthen digital safety and support the district\u2019s anti-bullying efforts.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lmtonline.com\/local\/article\/laredo-school-district-united-isd-uisd-bully-kids-21107267.php\">Read the full story through Laredo Morning Times.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, 1 in 5 students reports being bullied, with a higher percentage of cases involving female students, highlighting the urgency for awareness and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":38751,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"Laredo Morning Times","_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Through a partnership with Lightspeed Systems, the UGLI Foundation is also implementing online anti-bullying efforts for UISD through a $50,000 technology grant."},"tags":[19,99,24],"news-category":[],"class_list":["post-38750","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cyberbullying","tag-partnership","tag-student-safety"],"acf":{"authors":[531]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
