A: Sounds like you may though bullying cases are difficult to prove. Contact a member of the Fla. Assn for Justice who handles civil rights issues. Also see if there is an education law center in your area--ask for the names of their "cooperating attorneys."

try this group--they aren't in Florida but seem to have a Florida contact. http://www.edlawcenter.org/states/florida.html
