As someone who has been at the mercy of a school administration for something I didn't do and got punished for, i hope they sue the shit out of them and win.
The school having a history of bullying doesn't mean they have a history with 1 person being bullied.
Also, as to why victims of bullying don't just speak up and have something done about it. Give this movie a watch, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2523832/. I felt it accurately represented how I felt when I was bullied when I was young.

Dont jump to conclusions about racism and nooses, As it is Texas it is entirely possible that some white kid was pretending to be a cowboy, was trying to show off his 'ropin' cowboy skills and tossed the rope over the girls head and pulled her off her feet to show what he would do to a bull without fully understanding the implications of roping a black girls neck or that it would cause as much harm as it did.
It is also entirely possible that it was done by a racist to cause harm to a black person, but the important thing is until we know the facts we don't really know anything.
School is responsible for everything that happens t o kids while they are at school, end of story.
I felt like 3 million was a retardedly high amount until the school tried to claim it was an accident.
Retards deserve to lose that kind of funding if they're gonna call an obvious act of bullying an accident.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov
Then you would understand how it can be unseen at times. Sometimes it is when you are alone that they find you and torment you. And all you are left with is confusion, anger, and fear. With that, it can feel as though telling anyone won't fix the issue, and it will only makes things worse. As the saying goes, "Snitches get stitches". In my neighborhood, that was a well known fact. If you rat someone out, you will have a few kids waiting on your porch when you get home ready to kick the shit out of you. Front yard brawls were common enough to scare most kids from speaking out.
All the same, since you have experience, I highly recommend watching that movie, it is pretty good, and made me choke up.
