Polk County Schools to suspend students who use a cell phone to record fights, upload videos on social media

The Polk County School District is taking to social media to remind students and their families that it is against school rules to record fights on their cell phones on campus.

The school district went on to say those who are caught recording the fights or uploading fight videos on social media could face a 10-day suspension or possibly face expulsion.

“This year, we have seen an increase in students using their cell phones to video record acts of violence, illegal activities, and other inappropriate content. In some cases, these videos have been posted to social media, which is humiliating and degrading for the students who were filmed,” Polk County Deputy Superintendent John Hill said in a letter published on social media.
