HIB Information
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. 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 and disciplined environment.
Harassment, intimidation, or bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior that may
involve a real or perceived power imbalance. Since students learn by example, school
administrators, faculty, staff and volunteers should be commended for demonstrating
appropriate behavior, treating others with civility and respect, and refusing to tolerate Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying.
