[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does FCPS do about online bullying- especially when it happens on a school device and targets a large portion of a population? Can I student be expelled for this? Moved to another school? Suspended? Public flogging?

I am asking because Woodson is having an incident where a "ranking" of girls is being shared and it gets into race, date-ability, face and body "curve" ranking. I know women have been objectified since the dawn of time but these are minors and it is on school equipment. [/quote]

In my experience, FCPS doesn’t do anything. They do not address bullying, harassment, or threats that happen online on school devices. FCPS  won’t call any of this “bullying.” They might do a bullying investigation if you formally request, but they never determine that it was bullying. There are no consequences for the horrible mean despicable behavior of harassment and bullying and threats that are happening online. Have CP doesn’t do anything unless there’s a statement about race. Then the whole school will get an email about racial slurs and that’s unacceptable. Of course that is also unacceptable but so is the bullying and harassment and inappropriate use of technology and school devices that CPS says nothing about. The school culture is so eroded. This significantly of our students mental health and wellness and safety at school. [/quote]

This has been my experience with the Woodson pyramid as well. Of course the emails always say that “this isn’t who we are as a community”, but at a certain point, it is who we are as a community. [/quote]
