Harassment, intimidation or bullying can take many forms including, but not limited to, slurs, rumors, jokes, innuendoes, demeaning comments, drawings, cartoons, pranks, gestures, physical attacks, threats or other written, oral, physical or electronically transmitted messages or images.

District Policy 3207 is not intended to prohibit expression of religious, philosophical, or political views, provided that the expression does not substantially disrupt the educational environment. Many behaviors that do not rise to the level of harassment, intimidation or bullying may still be prohibited by other district policies or building, classroom or program rules.

The District’s prohibition of harassment, intimidation, and bullying shall apply:

  • On school District property at any time;
  • Off school District property at any school activity, function, or event;
  • Off school District property if the actions of the student materially or substantially effect the education process and/or student attendance at school.
