Three principals mail letters home to parents urging them to check Facebook accounts after repeated instances of off-campus cyberbullying.
The story Troy Intermediate Principal Kelli Cogan tells is heartbreaking. “I had a student’s parents call me and tell us their child was acting withdrawn and sullen,” Cogan, who heads the school of fifth and sixth-graders, said. “We had the student talk to a counselor and found out the child was afraid to come to school because of something on Facebook.” She asked the student what the problem was. “Everybody hates me,” the child told Cogan. “You know how kids are, saying things like that,” Cogan said. “So I told (the child), ‘Everyone doesn’t hate you.’” “Well, 82 percent do,” the student replied.

Alexandria Nichols resignation letter cites pay inequity and city's failure to 'cease bullying by a council member.'

The former city department head, Alexandria Nichols, is not saying. And although Nichols said the city has documentation of her allegations, the city says it does not. Human Resource Director George Wintermyer, after confirming the council member referred to in the letter was Larry Meiners, said no documentation on a dispute between the two was ever recorded. On Jan. 13, Recreation Director Alexandria Nichols submitted her resignation to Mayor K. C. Zuber. While the letter did not specify a reason for leaving, it did say that an otherwise positive employment was …
