Online school bullying reporting spotty

As recently as October, almost every school district in Ross County had failed to comply with a four-year-old state law requiring that all districts publish a summary of bullying incidents online. The mandate calls for every district in Ohio, twice per year, to post on its website a summary of all reported acts of bullying. It’s part of a 2007 law requiring the districts to adopt policies prohibiting bullying, harassment and intimidation. While local school districts’ handbooks show they have enacted policies against bullying, some of their websites show they lag behind when it comes to reporting the incidents to the public.
