Violence and intimidation off the field has led to the cancellation of the remaining junior varsity football games at Monroe Woodbury High School.

The school, located on Dunderberg Road in Central Valley, is no stranger to bullying claims, some dating back years.

In a board meeting Monday, Superintendent Elsie Rodriguez said he agrees with parents that more action should and will be taken with bullying at the school.

Parents tell News 12 that bullying within the Monroe Woodbury JV football team is just the tip of the school intimidation iceberg.

Parent Terry Pineau said she specifically moved to the area to get her son Johnathan a better education, but she's pulling him out multiple bullying incidents later.

The eighth-grader says he was beaten so badly in the gym locker room by one of his peers that he was sent to the hospital and was out of school for about two months. He says his abuser was given a restraining order, but he saw him in the hallway a couple of days later.

Rodriguez says the district's first big step was canceling the JV football team's last two games, creating a zero-tolerance policy. She says their work is far from finished.

"It's a learning opportunity for everybody, not just the students," she says. "It's a learning opportunity for the coaches, for the administration, for myself, for our parents. It's taking the time to talk to kids to really find out what's going on."

The superintendent also said that she is looking to bring programs and speakers into the school to try and curb the growing bullying concern.
