Sydney would like us to look at the policy and see if it could be changed. Mr. Taylor thanked Sydney for speaking at the meeting and showing her leadership. He also said that they look at the policy every year and it has been successful. Kids are to cover up and not fight back. There is a 10-day external suspension for the students if they fight, it has been told to them since they were young and has worked for the most part as a deterrent from fighting. feels that an internal suspension would work better. Sydney said many people will start a fight with a student just to get that student in trouble. The bully wins when you punish both students. September 11, 2017 Page 11
