NCS vs bullies - New policy?

NCS board members will face off with school bullies when it meets Monday (2/8/10) and considers the recommendation of the Student Achievement Leadership Team (SALT). That is, according to This Week Community Newspapers report at this link:

“The committee's next task was a revision of the district's bullying policy. The committee will recommend to the school board to omit the phrase stating that the policy applies to students "while en route to or from school."

"It's impossible to ensure that every child is free from harassment the entire time," Herreman said. "You can't follow every student."

Christenberry suggested including "social media" in the bullying policy's current enforcement of harassment via "Internet, e-mail, cellular telephone, personal digital assistance (PDA), or wireless hand-held device," allowing it to cover Facebook and Twitter.”
