94. Where Are The School Administrators?

Sat May 12, 2012, 12:30 AM

May 2012

I'm sure a lot of this is turned in so why is no action taken against the bullies. There should not be a code of silence but if there is then school administators have to work to make communication channels available. Assault and battery is a criminal offense that carries jail time. This should not be a difficult problem to fix. And powerful parents need to be held in check, perhaps by publishing their efforts to fix things. Transparency is sorely missing in these cases and that must change.
