Parents lament behavior issues at Butler high school
BUTLER TWP — In a sometimes raucous meeting Monday, parents of Butler teens shared problems that students have mentioned to them about physical aggression and bullying in school.
These happened especially at Butler Intermediate High and Butler Senior High schools, according to several people at Monday’s meeting of the Butler Area School Board.
Brian White, superintendent, sent out two letters in the past month to families of students in the district regarding the increased number of behavioral problems, some of which have escalated to criminal behavior.
Parents spoke at the meeting and told the board members about fights their children have been involved in or seen, verbal insults and bullying taking place on school buses, and drug use.
