Mercer County Schools have become a haven for those who choose to bully and show aggression, be it physical, verbal or otherwise. Many children have been affected by this problem.
It is no coincidence that the graduation rates of children in Special education and lower socio-economic status are lower across the board in Mercer County. These groups are known targets for bullies since they are not totally mainstream and have issues before they even get through the school doors.
The fact is there is no program to prevent or stop bullying. Most schools do not even have a guidance program for elementary children. Steps must be taken to stop bullying in Mercer County Schools.
The people of Mercer County West Virginia require that Mercer County Department of Education be held accountable for any acts of bullying that occur within the school system.
Mercer County School needs, not only their current policies on bullying to be followed, but programs put in place beginning in Kindergarten through High School to raise awareness, prevent future bullying and decrease current acts of bullying in all Mercer County Schools.
