Haley Percell, OSBA chief legal counsel and director of legal services, discussed cyberbullying on Oregon Public Broadcasting's program “Think Out Loud.”
“Students, administrators and parents should be educated about the proper use of electronic mediums and the potential consequences for cyberbullying, including student discipline, expulsion and criminal convictions,” Percell said.
Percell says that the recent cyberbullying case at Salem-Keizer’s Whitaker Middle School is not an isolated incident and that cyberbullying is taking place in many Oregon school districts.
