Cely Rosario, sister of the late Jason Bernard, addressed the Peabody School Committee, expressing her frustrations with the district's response to bullying after her brother's suicide. She highlighted a lack of transparency and accountability, stating that despite several initiatives aimed at preventing bullying, decisive actions have not been taken. Rosario emphasized the emotional burden her family continues to bear while advocating for student safety and mental health. She urged the School Committee to move beyond discussions and implement policies that enforce consequences for bullying and support victims. Rosario also suggested exploring new staff with diverse backgrounds to enhance the school culture and stressed the importance of transparent communication with families. The School Committee Chair acknowledged that the Anti-Bullying Policy is still in subcommittee and will be presented in an upcoming meeting, but Rosario's call for urgent action reflects ongoing community concerns about student safety in Peabody schools.
