Bullying Prevention Flowchart

Bullying Prevention Procedures

The District prohibits bullying, including cyberbullying:

 On school property;
 At school-sponsored or school-related activities on or off school property; or
 In any vehicle being used for transporting students to or from school or a schoolsponsored
or school-related activity.
Bullying may include physical conduct or verbal or written expression, including electronic
expression, that was delivered to school property or to the site of a school-sponsored or
school-related activity, or off school property or outside of a school-sponsored or schoolrelated
activity, if the cyberbullying interferes with a student’s educational opportunities or
substantially disrupts the orderly operation of a classroom, school, or school-sponsored or
school-related activity.
Bullying is not tolerated by the District, and any student or parent of a student who believes
that the student or another student has experienced bullying or that a student has engaged in
bullying is encouraged to immediately report the incident. Retaliation against anyone involved
in the reporting process is a violation of District policy and is prohibited.
Students or parents may report an alleged incident of bullying, orally or in writing, to a teacher,
school counselor, principal, or other District employee. Students or parents may contact
the District to obtain an Incident Report Form that may be used to submit the report. A student
may report the incident anonymously.
Please note that after submission of the report to the District employee, the District will notify
the parent of the alleged victim and the parent of the alleged bully. The District may assign
the report to a campus administrator to follow up on the submitted report and any other important
matters pertaining to the report. We encourage you to communicate with your designated
campus administrator during this time.
