I went to Mt Nebo Jr High (the other jr high in Payson) and was bullied for a year and a half. Rude and threatening comments were constantly showing up on social media sites so my parents and I printed them out and took them to the vice principal who stated that they couldn't do anything about it because it wasn't done during school hours. As an eighth grade girl having been told how you can always go to administration for help with bullying, that was incredibly wrong in my mind. I ended up transferring schools as well. I don't see how parents can send their children to schools where the administration doesn't do anything about bullying which is raging in junior highs right now, and why the district hasn't done a thing to prevent bullying.

Good for this dad...This school is a joke my daughter goes there and she said that there has been 7 fights in the past week and nobody does anything about it. She got hurt in a class two months ago and I never got a phone call but her grandmother did. But this school let her leave with her grandmother and she never came home until later that night, I was franitic I called and called and called and never got a return call back, so this school is a joke, if I could get my daughter to another school I would.

Good for the father. If he hadn't pulled her out it could have potentially escalated into something horrible, and once it hits the news, school officials would say something like "We take bullying very seriously...blah blah blah". It's so pervasive, and teachers and administrators are so complacent, that you have to look out for your own kids. How long are we going to tolerate public schools that operate like prison yards?
