News Journal: AG Biden calls for unified plan to fight, report online bullying
Citing growing concerns about bullying that takes place in the digital realm, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden is calling on the state’s school districts to work toward a unified plan to address the problem.
At a public forum in Dover Thursday evening, Biden said current state law requires schools to report verified incidents of bullying, including cyber-bullying, to the state Department of Education, but that data is currently lacking.
One unnamed high school in New Castle County, Biden said, reported zero bullying incidents last school year.
“That’s not the reality,” he said. “We have to find a better way to make sure the information is pushed up.”
Biden said he believes part of the problem are the unique bullying policies established by school districts. Though they may be good policies on their own, differing rules make it hard for the Department of Justice to pursue cases that may warrant Family Court action.
