What's wrong with your school district? A privacy policy that won't allow you to inform parents their kid is a bully?

It’s a terrible district with terrible leadership

If the Staff won't do anything, have her reach out to a school board member

Yeah clearly the system is working as it facilitates abuse of special needs kids
