On this Thanksgiving morning, the Register-Star has three articles related to the recent violence at Hudson High School. There's an excellent article by John Mason announcing a special meeting of the Board of Education at 7 p.m. on Monday, November 29, at John L. Edwards, to discuss the problem. It also provides more information about the recent incidents of violence and explores how other school districts in Columbia County deal with bullying and violence: "HCSD to meet to discuss recent violence."
There's also a second article by Mason in which Second Ward Alderman Wanda Pertilla tells how her daughter, now graduated, was the target of bullying throughout her high school years: "Not a new problem for HSCD."
Finally, there's an article by Lindsay Suchow reporting that Steven Spicer has filed a complaint of second-degree aggravated harassment against Co-principal Tom Gavin and has petitioned the court for an order of protection: "Spicer files charges against Gavin."
Gossips encourages readers to attend the special Board of Education meeting on Monday night. You may not have children attending schools in the district, but your property taxes support HCSD and the quality of our local public schools affects the well-being of our community as a whole. This is a problem that demands the attention of all of us.
