State's Dignity Act signals serious approach to bullying | Star-Gazette | stargazette.com
School has just begun in the Southern Tier, and while many students are excited about the year ahead, for nearly 28 percent of the nation’s middle- and high-school students, there’s also the unsettling prospect they will be a target of bullying.

Sanctuary of Mary: Gregory Spring - bullied to death in New York State
Sanctuary of Mary: Gregory Spring - bullied to death in New York State
Gregory Spring, age 17, died on June 17, 2013, in Allegany, New York State.
Note: In my own personal experience, I have also found the following to be pathetically true:
Excerpt: "...the school ALWAYS denies that any bullying occurred. We have seen this time and time again. They don't want to admit to anything that could get the school or the school board sued for negligence in the care of their students. They don't want to get fired from their jobs."

Creating Artificial Student Failure in New York @nysed @nysut – @ THE CHALK FACE knows SCHOOLS MATTER
Creating Artificial Student Failure in New York @nysed @nysut – @ THE CHALK FACE knows SCHOOLS MATTER
New York Teacher, Jennifer Fatone, posted some pretty shocking information on the UOO Facebook site recently, along with her comments and a letter to Steven Katz, the Director of New York State Assessments. This is blatant. This is wrong. If there was any doubt that New York has an agenda to show failure in the public schools, the truth is starting to smack us in the face. If you are in a different state, pay attention. If this hasn’t already started in your neck of the woods, it probably will soon.

FERPA – Could Your DNA Target You For Government Intervention? : Freedom Outpost
Congress did not legislate any changes to the Privacy Laws to expand the access to personally identifiable records. Obama, the US Department of Education & Secretary Duncan, with a swipe of a pen, issued new regulations to be written. Please read the following changes to FERPA, Family Education Rights & Privacy Act.
