Student representative reports social-media incident; administrators and school resource officers notified
Summary
Student representative Audrey told the board about hurtful social-media posts affecting peers; administrators (Mr. Grama, Ms. Romeo) and Suffolk County school resource officers were notified and the district is investigating.
Audrey, the district's student representative, updated the board on school events and raised an ongoing social-media incident affecting students.
Audrey said there were "hurtful and inconsiderate posts" that left classmates and friends overwhelmed. She said she "spoke to Mr. Grama" and that he, along with Ms. Romeo and faculty and administrators, "have been working hard to investigate these reports and figure out a solution to what is happening." Audrey said messages about the situation were posted on ParentSquare and that Suffolk County Police Department school resource officers have been involved.
Audrey encouraged peers to set accounts to private and to "be kind to everyone because you never know what people are going through." Board members thanked her for raising the matter in a student voice and said they hope the situation is resolved soon. The district did not provide further detail publicly at the meeting on disciplinary or investigative outcomes.
