The Bedford Area School District is proposing changes to its high school handbook that would better specify potential discipline regarding student athletes posting âderogatoryâ comments about their teammates and coaches on social media.
The school board at its meeting next week also will vote to update its student handbooks, including changes to its high school handbook regarding the code of conduct for student athletes.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. Paul Ruhlman told the board at its meeting Monday night the changes are in response to a Supreme Court case regarding a 14-year-old high school student who in 2017 was suspended from her cheerleading team for a year after she posted an expletive-filled post on Snapchat about the school and the cheerleading squad after being kept on the junior varsity unit.

Bedford Borough and its municipal authority are preparing for more than $1 million worth of street paving this summer.
Borough Council, during its meeting Monday night, approved using its liquid fuels funding as collateral to help the Municipal Authority of the Borough of Bedfordâs application for an about $820,000 loan from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Bank program through the state Department of Transportation.
Tim Cooper said during the meeting that backing the authorityâs loan application would help move the process along faster.
âWe need to get this out to bid,â he told council. âIâm concerned about fuel prices.â
The municipal authority is looking to pave portions of about 30 streets at an estimated cost of about $815,000 to repair the streets dug up during the authorityâs water and sewer line project last summer.
