Central Islip School District Under Fire for Alleged Inaction on Bullying

A recent complaint and notice of claim have been filed against the Central Islip School District, alleging negligence and discrimination in their handling of bullying incidents. The latest involves a 13-year-old girl whose family says she was repeatedly threatened and assaulted by bullies, resulting in suicidal thoughts and the need to bring mace to school. While the district claims to have implemented anti-bullying and tolerance initiatives, parents and advocates say it's not enough.
