Metro Lt. Raymond Steiber and School District Police Capt. Jim Ketsaa will also discuss a letter to parents from Sheriff Douglas Gillespie and Superintendent Walt Rulffes, which will also be posted on ParentLink.
The press conference will be held at 10 a.m. Sept. 7 at the east entrance of Gibson Middle School, 3900 W. Washington Ave.
According to a 2004 study by i-SAFE, Inc., a non-profit foundation dedicated to Internet safety education, 42 percent of 1,500 students grades 4 to 8 have been bullied while online.
