Shawna Mannon's teenage son Carter is seriously allergic to peanuts.

During one of Carter ’s first football games as a varsity player, his mom got a call from another parent, who told her some of his teammates put peanuts in his locker.

The kids responsible were disciplined, but Mannon thought it didn’t go far enough and filed complaints.

Texas Education Agency has received more than 500 complaints about bullying.

Of hundreds of complaints, 13 resulted in TEA ordering a district or charter to make changes.

It's unclear what changes districts were ordered to make.

At least 60 bullying complaints referred to units that investigated educator misconduct and special education where it’s unclear if it led to district changes.
