In addition, information regarding the policy is incorporated into employee professional development and training materials.
Harassment/Intimidation Defined: Hazing, bullying and/or dating violence means any incident of intentional written, verbal, graphic or physical acts, including electronically transmitted acts, either overt or covert, by a student or group of students toward other students/school personnel with the intent to haze, harass, intimidate, injure, threaten, ridicule or humiliate.
Bullying Defined: a conscious, repeated, hostile, aggressive behavior of an individual or a group abusing their position with the intention to harm others or gain real or perceived power.
Report A Possible Bullying Incident – KNOw Bullying
When investigating a possible bullying situation, we will test the situation against the following three questions:
- Does the individual suspected of bullying have more power than the individual suspected of receiving the bullying behavior?
- Have there been a series of incidents?
- Has it been the intention of the individual suspected of bullying to purposely cause harm to the individual suspected of receiving the bullying behavior?
The questions above are used to determine whether an incident qualifies as bullying. If the answer to any of the above questions is ‘Yes’, then it is possible this is a bullying incident. However, any ‘No’ answers may indicate a negative situation that needs to be addressed but does not qualify as bullying.
To report an incident of bullying, harassment, or discrimination please complete an incident report form. All reports will be promptly forwarded to the building principal/designee for review and action. If you feel this is an emergency outside school hours please contact your local police.
