Bullying has become all too common in schools across the nation and is now at the center of a death investigation of a student at Southern Columbia Area High School.
Freshman and 14-year-old Natalie Bodner took her own life last week and parents of the district say enough is enough.
Parents believe the administration is not handling bullying as serious as they should and on Monday evening dozens of parents spoke at Southern Columbia Area High School’s board meeting, addressing the board on reoccurring and mishandling bullying incidences in the district.
Superintendent Paul Caputo says after hearing concerns Monday night, he’s ready to take a hard look at the districts bullying policy.
A memorial and funeral was held for Natalie earlier on Monday.
