WEST CHESTER, Pa.—At the end of a school board meeting that featured glowing accolades for students and staff at a West Chester middle school, parents spoke out about a darker side to the school: bullying. They say the issue is out of control and is not being properly addressed.
The West Chester Area School Board held its monthly meeting at the district’s Spellman Education Center on May 24, 2023. Ten parents from Fugett Middle School spoke out at the meeting about prolonged and increasing violence and bullying among students, which they say the school administration has ignored.
