Two members of the public addressed the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District board on Jan. 13 to describe repeated bullying incidents affecting their children and asked the board for accountability and a prompt response.

A parent who identified herself only as Shantel and said she lives in Taylor, Michigan, told the board her daughter has been targeted on multiple occasions. She described coordinated social-media messaging, an episode in a school restroom where "12 kids" surrounded two students and pushed them together until a physical fight occurred, and other episodes in which her daughter was shoved into lockers and photographed. "It's happened at least 3 times to my daughter, particularly," she said.

A second parent, who did not provide his name, recounted several incidents involving his daughter and other students and argued the school’s earlier response had at times punished students who defended themselves. He urged more accountability and asked the board to provide a timeline for corrective action: "I would like to know tonight before we leave, when I'm gonna expect a response and who is going to respond back to us," he said.

The superintendent told both parents the district would follow up and that they should expect to hear from his office "within a reasonable amount of time," saying roughly a week for coordination with administrators.

The board did not propose policy changes during the meeting. Parents asked for clearer communication with the broader community and for visible results; the district has committed to follow-up to discuss next steps and any actions taken as a result of administrative review.
