2/22/13 - The Linden School District offers a bully hotline for its students, but recent complaints are causing administrators to take another look at the service. The Eagle Hotline allows students to anonymously file complaints with the district following an incidence of bullying through calls or texts. It was put in place after a Linden High School senior committed suicide in November, which his family attributed to bullying. However, MLive.com reports that a sophomore approached the school board on Wednesday to voice the complaints of students who had called or texted the hotline and received no response from the district. Superintendent Ed Koledo says depending on the circumstances of the complaint school officials may decide to speak with the bully, but not the student who reported it. He issued a statement saying the board was concerned about the comments it has received by students, and will investigate the reporting and followup process of the hotline. (TD)
