Responding to Student Misconduct

The Board of Education, Administration, and Staff take seriously the importance of having safe learning environments for students, especially environments free of discrimination, harassment, and bullying.

Steps to prevent discrimination, harassment, and bullying are most important, and you can learn more about the proactive steps we take in our schools by reviewing our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and Proactive Behavioral Supports.

Additionally, District policy and practice is aligned to state and federal law, both of which are grounded in best practice.

The relevant District policies that guide our steps to prevent and respond to discrimination, harassment, and bullying, can be found in the following Board of Education Policies:

• Policy 2:265   TItle IX Grievance Procedure
• Policy 2:270   Discrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, and National Origin Prohibited
• Policy 7:20     Harassment of Students Prohibited
• Policy 7:180   Prevention of and Response to Bullying, Harassment, and Intimidation
• Policy 7:190   Student Behavior

If you have any questions or concerns about student behavior, especially as it relates to bullying or harassment, please contact your child’s teacher or principal immediately, and we will follow the guidelines in these policies to respond effectively to your concerns.
