What this document actually says
This policy, last revised February 13, 2024, prohibits bullying of students and staff through physical, written, verbal, visual, cyberbullying, threats, harassment, or hate violence. It applies to behavior on campus, at school activities, and off-campus conduct that creates a hostile school environment. The district must develop anti-bullying strategies involving students, parents, and staff, and incorporate them into safety plans. Complaints are investigated using uniform complaint procedures. Students who are bullying victims may transfer to another school at parent request or district recommendation. The policy requires staff to intervene—employees who permit or engage in bullying face disciplinary action up to dismissal. Parents are encouraged to model respectful behavior and monitor potential bullying causes.
What this means for your family
Your child has the right to a safe, welcoming school environment free from bullying, harassment, and intimidation. If your child is bullied, you can file a complaint that must be investigated. Victims may transfer to another school upon request. The district expects families to model respectful behavior and help create a supportive learning environment. Staff who ignore or engage in bullying can be dismissed.
