Social Media

[Darrell Medley]

I was hoping to get some input on how you handle social media issues in school.  My support personnel and administrative team are working overtime to combat the issues that students create and bring into the school that we end up dealing with.  Almost every student has a cell phone with internet access and almost all students have a facebook, twitter, or instagram account and they utilize these media formats to bully, harass, and promote their dislike with each other. 

I have held parent meetings to discuss the legal, emotional, and educational impact of social media but there seems to be no diminishing the issue.  I am open to suggestions and if anyone has an idea or something they have tried in their school that has worked. 

Any advice is appreciated.
