The Baltimore Sun reported that each school district will designate a representative who will contact Facebook if posts determined to be bullying are discovered, adding that those representatives will follow the social network’s reporting process, but if their issues are not addressed within 24 hours, they can email a dedicated site that will be monitored 24/7 by Facebook employees, according to Facebook Spokesman Matt Steinfeld.
