Procedures for Reporting Allegations of Bullying

The District prohibits bullying on school property, during school-sponsored or related activities, and in any District-operated vehicle. Bullying may include verbal or written expression, electronic communication, or physical conduct. The District does not tolerate bullying, and any student or parent who believes a student has experienced or engaged in bullying is encouraged to report the incident immediately. Retaliation against anyone involved in the reporting process is prohibited and violates District policy.

Students or parents may report an alleged incident of bullying, either orally or in writing, to a teacher, counselor, principal, or other District employee. An incident report form is available from the District and may be used to submit the report.

After a complaint is submitted to a District employee, it may be assigned to a campus administrator for follow-up and further action. We encourage you to communicate with your designated campus administrator during this process.

If you or your child experiences an incident of bullying, please follow these steps and complete the Bullying Complaint form:

1. Download the Incident Report Form.
2. Once completed, submit the form to your school principal or designee, or the appropriate district office.
