In March of this year in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, the city's board of education conducted a third-party investigation to find out if there was any bullying in the background over the discovery that a junior high school girl had died until the end of November. We have announced a policy to publish the results.
A girl student in Asahikawa's second year of junior high school was found dead in a snowy park in March, and the city's board of education identified it as a "serious situation" suspected of being bullied. We are planning to start a third-party investigation by the end of this month.
On the 14th, in a question and answer session at the standing committee of the city council, a person in charge of the board of education announced that he would complete the investigation on the existence of bullying by the end of November and announce the results.
In addition, the person in charge was a member of the board of education after receiving a report from the school that the school did not admit that the girl student had entered the river by herself in the presence of senior students from another junior high school. It was also revealed that the association did not take any measures such as requesting a re-investigation.
In the question, Shinichi Kurobata, the director of the Asahikawa City Board of Education, said, "Is it possible to prevent the death of the students? It is necessary to verify the response of the Board of Education at that time." ..
