The board of education believes that a safe and civil environment in school is necessary for students to learn and achieve high academic standards. Since students learn by example, school administrators, faculty, staff, and volunteers are required to demonstrate appropriate behavior, treating others with civility and respect, and refusing to tolerate harassment, intimidation or bullying. Harassment, intimidation or bullying, like other disruptive or violent behaviors, is conduct that disrupts both a student's ability to learn and a school's ability to educate its students in a safe environment. Therefore, the school district will not tolerate acts of harassment, intimidation or bullying.

The following forms must be used to report incidents of Harassment, Intimidation, or Bullying. Forms must be completed and submitted to Dr. Murtaugh, Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Gilbert, or Ms. Mulford within 2 days of any verbal report.
