Is there a problem with bullying at schools within Sarasota County and if so, what can be done about it?
Francesco Abbruzzino, The Scoop News
I posted the thread earlier in the week, which I have posted below. I separated the comments out and posted them on the page, for the individuals that are not on Facebook. There was and still is a lot of attention on that posting and it leaves me wondering if there is a bullying problem within the Sarasota County schools and if the administrators at the schools and school board are turning a blind eye to the different issues.
I know of an issue at a local high school in Sarasota, which I have been told involves three students with that are being bullied by the same child. Nothing is being done about it and the parents do not want to speak up, over fear of their kids not making next year’s prestigious cut to attend the school.
I received this email earlier today, but I have not been able to confirm if the information is accurate.
From Heather
SHS student committed suicide Monday at some point. After being bullied for some time. Haven’t seen anything about it on any news. I think it deserves aome attention. Fits right in with your bullying article from down south
So, is the issue of bullying out of control at schools within Sarasota County? Is there a lot of concern that the schools are not listening to the concerns of parents, when it comes to bullying? What can be done to bring attention to this issue and have the school board take this issue seriously?
Several of the School Board members, the new Superintendent, administrators, ect follow my page and this should get their attention. However, if it does not, you can always email all School Board members: [email protected]

Tracy Damron-Roelle Everything needs to be in an email. First email to the teacher and principal. 24 hours to respond send same email in subject.. Attempt 2 and add the superintendent. Attempt 3 add the school board. Attempt 4 add the state and the media.
Frankly, I’m at the point that I’d just be pressing charges to begin with. Looking at the Educator Code of Ethics and filing complaints.
Enough is enough. Do we need 8 year old victims like they had in Cincinnati? No… JUST NO!

Tara Batori The kid to be bullied always is the one punished. It was like that when I went to school and it’s the same for my children. In my experience the administration just does not want to deal with it.

Tracy Damron-Roelle That would be great, because I’ve had parents call many times in the past and they didn’t take education cases. It’s hard to find an attorney to take a case if you don’t have money because school boards have unlimited funds and they know parents can’t afford to sue them.

Tracy Barnard Basically their hands are tied. We had letters showing death threats and I could not even get the department of education to take action. Teach your children to stand up for themselves and others. My son has had several detentions and a suspension because he “fought” back. It sucked because it wasn’t right but the kids stopped. They know he won’t take it. Bullies are looking for people who will take it. Teach them not to take it and it will stop.

Francine Draper The problem is that usually the bullied kid is the only one that ever gets “caught” doing anything & then they get in trouble - even though the actual bully never did.

Tracy Damron-Roelle We’re at Community Christian in Port Charlotte and while it’s taken most of the year, my daughter is starting to love reading again. She does real math. She has REAL TEXTBOOKS. They focused on her positive behavior and largely ignored attention seeking behavior. She’s learned how to work with her over excitabilities. It’s not perfect, but at least she is learning and is starting to like school again. I used to have to pry books out of her hands at night. The district did NOTHING to help her when iReady started causing problems. “It’s part of the curriculum”. It’s not part of curriculum. It’s nothing more than test prep.

Suzy Olney Too bad there is such a long extensive policy that is NOT being followed.
Bullying can lead many times to suicide. Get your daughter in counseling even if you don’t think she needs it. File a police report. File a written letter to everyone up the chain at the school. Send a copy to that child’s parent.
A lawyer can be very very expensive. Even though they may eventually sue them for fees.
Get a solid paper trail now. You may need it later. Talk about your meeting and their inaction. Send them certified.
I hope over the summer the little brat will forget your daughter. I’m sorry she has to go through all this. I know it isn’t easy.

On Friday, call at noon, tell them if you don’t receive a call back within two hours, your lawyer will be getting paperwork ready and you will be filing a police report.
My friend did this. The bully got suspended and had to go to mandatory counseling. The bully now avoids her grandson like the plague.

Rachel Pryde-Baker My daughter started at Taylor ranch elementary 3rd grade. They were awesome. She was bullied for some of the time but now she is graduating a year early and will go into the military this summer. I don’t blame the schools I blame the lack of communication between schools and parents. Nobody should be bullied. I think the one who is the bully is the one who needs help the most. I think they need attention and don’t know how to get it. Not fair to the victims but also not fair to the children who craved the attention.

Amanda Sullivan This seems to be a county wide issue; rules need to change. My daughter (heron creek middle north port) was physically attacked back in November; I took in proof the girls involved had been threatening my daughter for 2-3 days before hand. My daughter still spent a say in iss, we pressed charges which by county policy, is a 10 day oss. Nope she was back on campus after a day and then had a day or two iss. So they aren’t even following their own policies

Timothy Vantilburg I agree we Denise Evans comment. It here again with my experience with local crap of a school they did nothing the solution to my sons problem was shove him in a classroom to only do work on a computer and have a security guard on duty watching over him for multiple classes he did nothing wrong just the teachers have no interaction with children our young adults the new curriculum goals is ridiculous as to when I was in school and the teachers worked and did more now a days it’s stupid if you remember correctly they did a lot of. Itching a few years back about pay funny how that disappeared and so did the teaching ethics and care to the students as they don’t now a days and this is why I cannot support what they do cause it is nothing they don’t get the proper help in school cause they. Ring home work that I have.

Jessica Canon It seems like the public school system thinks that hanging up a few anti-bullying posters and 5 minute lectures will make it go away. Granted, at least we’re finally getting to a point where they’re acknowledging it’s a huge problem. Now it’s time to take real action instead of pretending to have order. Since bullying is 9 times out of 10 brushed under the rug, kids aren’t learning consequences. Bullying and all forms of harassment aren’t tolerated in the workplace, so why are we allowing kids to grow up under false pretenses? These kids need to be suspended, just like us adults would be fired and/or have charges/arrests. School is supposed to prepare you for the workforce. Hold everyone accountable for their actions!

Logan Devine Bullying is not a problem, teaching your children to be overly sensitive is.

Tracy Damron-Roelle I’d rather teach my children to be too sensitive than to be an asshole.

Logan Devine Never said teach them to bully, but bullies have always been around and always will be, just teach your kids to stand up for themselves.

Holly J Callison-Clark I have been dealing with the same problems for 2 years now. My daughter is in second grade and dropped 8lbs and she is only 56lbs.

Tracy Damron-Roelle They only care about their money. I know at least 2 kids going through this in 2 of our schools right now, and nothing is being done. This is ridiculous.
