A southeast Nebraska school has a new way to combat bullying with an online form to alert officials about the problem.

Meridian Public Schools in Daykin is using the form this year, and it’s accessible on the school’s website.

Principal Bobby Kelley says they needed a way for students and parents to contact them immediately. Kelley says a few forms have been submitted, but the site is not being used to its fullest potential. The principal says they’d get phone calls from parents about their child being bullied, but often it was days later.

Kelley says the goal is let people know the online form is an option.
