Prevention of and Response to Bullying, Intimidation, and Harassment
The prevention of and response to bullying, intimidation, and harassment is guided by Policy 7-180. Our school district is committed to fostering a safe, non-hostile learning environment where all students can thrive academically and socially.
Our Commitment
Bullying, intimidation, and harassment disrupt a student's ability to learn and undermine the educational process. Our district prioritizes preventing these behaviors and ensuring equal access to a safe educational environment for all students.
What Constitutes Bullying?
Bullying can take many forms, including harassment, threats, intimidation, stalking, physical violence, sexual harassment, theft, public humiliation, or retaliation for reporting bullying. It includes both physical and verbal actions, as well as cyberbullying—using technology to harm others. Whether it occurs in person or online, any behavior that places a student in fear, harms their health, disrupts their academic performance, or interferes with their participation in school activities is considered bullying.
Scope of the Policy
Our policy prohibits bullying in various contexts, including:
- During any school-sponsored program or activity
- On school property, school buses, or at school-related events
- Through school networks or equipment
- Even off-campus, if it significantly disrupts the school's operations
Reporting and Support
Students are strongly encouraged to report any incidents of bullying. Reports can be made orally or in writing to the building principal, nondiscrimination coordinator, district complaint manager, or any trusted staff member. We also accept anonymous reports via phone or written communication. Our staff is always available to support and assist with any bullying concerns.
We believe that every student deserves to learn in an environment free from fear and intimidation. Together, we can create a supportive and respectful school community.
