Senator
Catharine Young announced that the state Senate passed legislation to further
protect students who are bullied or cyberbullied. The bill, which clarifies
existing law, creates guidelines for school districts to develop policies to
address the problem of cyberbullying. At
the Olean Board of Education meeting last night superintendent Colleen Taggerty
brought up the cyberbullying legislation. Taggerty expressed worry over the manpower and funds needed
to implement in. Board member Mike Martello also expressed his concern. The
legislation is directed towards stopping harassment
in schools on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.
