Business Insurance quoted Dallas Partner Dianna Bowen in the article “Social Media Policy: Safety vs. Free Speech: Districts Must Have Policies that Protect Students but Permit Educational Use” on August 1, 2013.

The article examined the issue of teachers contacting students through social media outlets.

Dianna commented that the act of inappropriate use of social media and technology is becoming very common for teachers and must be handled within the school guidelines.

"You definitely need a social media policy," said Dianna. “You'd be surprised at the number of teachers texting kids at all hours of the night."
