I live and teach about 30 miles from the school district where this incident happened. The response from the school district was not slow. This incident happened Monday, June 18, 2012. The school district became aware of the incident very late in the day.

Within the past hour there was a press conference with the police department and the school district. The district is following the disciplinary rules outlined by New York State. The adult who was bullied has chosen to NOT press charges at this time. She is currently satisfied with what the district is doing. She still has an opportunity to press charges in the future.

What these students did was wrong! Unfortunately, the students and their families have been receiving death threats--another form of bullying.

This incident is being handled by those who know all the facts about what happened. This case should not be tried in this forum.
