Angel Kamburelis Seeks Justice as Son Faces Bullying at WSWHE BOCES Special Needs Program

Angel James Kamburelis is demanding justice after her son, a student at WSWHE BOCES on Dix Avenue in Building G for special needs students, became the target of bullying by another student.

The alleged bullying, which began on September 17, involves a student from a CTE program at the regular training program center of BOCES.

Kamburelis explained that her son is transported by the Granville Central School District to and from the program, returning to the elementary school before heading home.

Due to safety concerns, Kamburelis has personally been providing afternoon transportation for her son over the past two weeks.

She stated that the school has not provided sufficient protection, even after she presented both a doctor’s note recommending alternative transportation and video evidence of the bullying incident involving the student, identified as Jakeem.

“I have asked the school to take appropriate action, but they only added an extra monitor on the bus,” Kamburelis said.

Kamburelis has also filed charges regarding the incident and is seeking additional measures to ensure her son’s safety while attending the program.

The situation has prompted an outpouring of support from the community on social media.

Many commenters expressed outrage at the bullying and frustration with the school system.

Some offered practical suggestions, including self-defense training for Kamburelis’ son, while others shared similar experiences with local schools failing to adequately address bullying.

Community members emphasized the importance of protecting vulnerable students and holding schools accountable.

“Whoever was yelling should have intervened long before it went this far,” one commenter wrote, while another added, “The high school is a joke, and they do nothing about bullying.”

As Kamburelis continues her fight for justice, she remains committed to ensuring her son can attend the WSWHE BOCES program safely and without fear.
