Medford School Board Policy on Cyberbullying
Medford is a school district with a zero-tolerance policy for cyberbullying. Their policy clearly spells out offline consequences for online actions. "Students whose behavior is found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to loss of privileges, discipline, up to and including expulsion." In June 2008, the school board announced that they would also seek to revoke student driver licenses for students who use text messaging or emails to harrass others.
