HOUMA, La. (AP) - In the wake of an H.L. Bourgeois (BOORZ’-wah) High School student being arrested and booked with cyberbullying earlier this week, school officials say they’re doing what they can to crack down on an issue that isn’t always easy to spot.
Terrebonne Superintendent Philip Martin tells The Courier (https://bit.ly/1niemVI) cyberbullying is difficult to address because it often happens outside the classroom.
When the issue is brought up by a student to a teacher or school administrator, Martin says schools take it seriously.
Such action was taken against a male student at Bourgeois High in Gray Monday after Terrebonne Parish School resource officers and detectives who specialize in investigating incidents involving minors found that he had sent threatening and malicious texts to another student.
