The Pinellas School Board is being sued by an Azalea Middle School student.
The student, Jarrard Jackson, claims that he’s been harassed and bullied on three separate occasions by the same group of boys. The incidents have happened on a school bus, as well as on school grounds.
A spokeswoman for Pinellas Schools declined to address the specific allegations, according to a news report.
Recent statistics show that half of all bullying goes unreported. The Dodson Law Firm urges students who have been bullied to report the incident(s) to an adult. Most children do not report that they have been bullied to a parent or an authority figure because they fear they will become even more of a target.
Anonymous reports can also be made by calling the Campus Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-873-8477. (Contact Information provided by the Pinellas County School Board)
