What's Next for the School Bus Bullies?

The 4 students who bullied school bus monitor Karen Klein now know their fate. What do you think about their consequences? How would your school district have handled a similar situation?

We now know the fate of the four students who verbally harassed the school bus monitor, Karen Klein in Greece, New York last week.

School officials announced yesterday that the boys are suspended from their school and regular bus transportation for a year. They will be attending an alternative educational program and will be participating in a bullying prevention program. They are also required to complete 50 hours of community service with seniors.   

What do you think about these consequences?   

How do you think your school district would have handled a similar situation?  Are you aware of your child’s school’s policy regarding bullying? Every student and parent should know what their school district’s consequences of bullying are!
