District Antibullying Program
District Anti-Bullying Program

The Board of Education prohibits acts of harassment, intimidation, or bullying of a student. A safe and civil environment in school is necessary for students to learn and achieve high academic standards. Therefore, the district utilizes an integrated process to foster safe and positive learning conditions for students by reinforcing and strengthening a school's climate and culture through prevention and intervention efforts. We are committed to fostering attitudes, behaviors, practices, and knowledge that promote and habituate diversity, inclusion, and equity in our schools.
