ALBANY, GA --
In our Facebook story of the day, you wanted to know if the anti-bullying programs are working in local school systems.

We spoke with  R.D. Harter, the Public Information Director at Dougherty County School System, who said their schools have multiple bullying programs in place, including having a school resource officer at every school to ensure the students safety.

Harter also said he believes the programs the Dougherty County School System has in place have been very effective so far, and they plan to keep improving the programs.
