Today, Stride Inc., (NYSE: LRN)—the nation’s leading provider of
online and blended learning programs—announced its continued
partnership with PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center for
the 2022-2023 school year. This partnership is designed to help
raise awareness of ways to identify, stop, and prevent
bullying.
Throughout the current school year, Stride and PACER’s will work
together to elevate the voices of students who are impacted by
bullying-related issues. Additionally, Stride is sharing several of
PACER’s specialized toolkits and resources with 200,000+ enrolled
students and families at its K12-powered programs that outline
critical ways to recognize and respond to bullying. The company is
also updating its online bullying prevention resource hub for its
estimated 6 million unique annual website visitors.
“Unfortunately, the pandemic has exacerbated many complex and
existing mental health challenges among students and their
families,” said James Rhyu, Chief Executive Officer at Stride, Inc.
“Students need our help to navigate the challenging times we’re
living in. The classroom should be a safe space in which every
student gets the support they need.”
As part of their personalized and holistic approach to
education, Stride’s K12-powered schools provide wraparound support
services for families to help address the challenges that impact
students’ ability to perform well in the classroom. In
addition—from the safety of home or from anywhere with an Internet
connection—every student has access to a rich curriculum taught by
state-credentialed teachers.
Stride’s ongoing bullying prevention initiative comes as many
schools and mental health professionals across the country seek
more ways to help students and families. Eighty-two percent of
students between ages 11 and 17 recently showed signs of a mental
health condition and nearly one in four adults ages 18 to 44
received mental health treatment last year, according to recent
studies. Further, in a survey of parents during the 2021-2022
school year, 35% said they enrolled their students in a K12-powered
school because of safety and/or mental health concerns that stem
from a previous school.
