Harassment, Intimidation, Bullying & Hazing

The Board of Education believes that harassing, intimidating, bullying and hazing activities of any type are inconsistent with the educational process and the Board prohibits all such harassing, intimidating, bullying and/or hazing behavior at any time on school premises, at any school-sponsored function, or on any school bus. This
behavior off school grounds will also be investigated if it substantially disrupts or interferes with the orderly operation of the school of the rights of other students.

Any person who believes that he or she has been the victim of harassment, intimidation, bullying or hazing, or any person with knowledge or belief of conduct which may constitute these actions shall report the alleged acts immediately to an appropriate school district official. The building principal is the person responsible for receiving reports of harassment, intimidation, bullying or hazing at the building level.

Any person may report harassment, intimidation, bullying or hazing directly to the Affirmative Action Officer or the Superintendent.
