Cybercivility Task Force Deadline

Parents.. today is the deadline to apply to be on Montgomery County Public Schools new cyber civility task force. Superintendent Joshua Starr created the campaign after getting threatening tweets from parents and students for his recent snow day decisions.
Starr hopes the campaign will open up talks between about civility on social media sites like twitter. In December Starr wrote a letter to parents saying many of the tweets directed towards him and his family were offensive and disturbing. School staff even reported them to the school systems security team.
As for interest in this new effort.. we checked and it looks like 150 people have signed up so far. If you’re interested apply on the MCPS Website. You have until 5PM today.
@317PMQ weighed in this mornings saying it’s important to to talk about what you post online with your kids saying “it starts at home, talk to your children & parents need passwords.”
