They are taken out of class and talked to by two mediators who try to help solve their problems. These mediators are fellow students who had to take surveys and were chosen by Mr. Stanton Robertson. Madison is only the third county in Georgia to run this program. Other peer mediator counselors include Lari Scarborough, Brittan Ayers and Joy King. If students have a problem and need to go to one of these sessions, they can ask a teacher for a referral sheet to fill out and turn in to Mrs. Lari Scarborough or Mrs. Sonia Coile.
Teachers can also fill out referrals for students they believe to be having problems.
The peer mediation program is such a success that people are requesting additional rooms for use in the program. Most of the problems that we see are the 'he said, she said' ones and after the mediators are through talking to them some leave the room friends and laughing.
