I am a business owner, and property tax payer at Socorro Texas area, nearby the Salvador sanchez Middle Shool; plus I am the grandmother of a child attending this school. I was checking the community rating and I am sorprised that the last one was done on March 2009. Is there any reports on bullling and other problems of behavior and discipline at this school?. My grandaughter is having some problems with bulling,and I have a very short tolerance for that. My daughter is already trying to take care of that. I hope something is done to stop that. I do not want to step in and demand a better leadership in proteccion and safety of the kids. We are a highly educated famely, we are involved in our community, and yes I will like to see more guidance more safety and more professionals in my community..
