PREVENTION OF BULLYING, INTIMIDATION, AND HARASSMENT
Eastland School District #308 Board Policy 7:180 
"Bullying, intimidation, and harassment diminish a student's ability to learn and a school's ability to educate.  Preventing students from engaging in these disruptive behaviors is an important District goal."
 
Bullying that is based on actual or perceived race, color, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender-related identity or expression, ancestry, age, religion, physical or mental disability, order of protection status, status of being homeless, or actual or potential marital or parental status including pregnancy, association with a person or group with one of the aforementioned actual or perceived characteristics, or any other distinguishing characteristics is prohibited in the Eastland School District.

Bullying is an act of aggression in the form of; threats, stalking, physical violence, sexual harassment, sexual violence, theft, public humiliation, destruction of property, distribution of written, printed, or electronic materials (including internet) at school, retaliation for asserting or alleging acts of bullying.
 
Bullying is a behavior that is; repeated, intentional, charactierized by one person/party dominating another person/party.
 
Report bullying that occurs; during any school sponsored education program or activity, while in school, on school property, on school buses or other school vehicles, at designated school bus stops waiting for the school bus, or at school sponsored or school sanctioned events or activitites.
 
Students are encouraged to report claims or incidents of bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, or any other prohibited conduct to; administrators, social worker, counselor, teachers, other staff members.
 
Parent tips for dealing with bullying; Listen carefully to your child. Reinforce your love for your child. Praise them for the courage to discuss bullying incidents with you.  Discuss with them that bullying is wrong and is not their fault.  Discuss the lack of respect bullies have for others.  DO NOT encourage physical retaliation.  Do some role-playing to practice responses. 
 
Step in and talk to school authorities.  As objectively as possible, give the school authorities the facts and information that they need.  Such as; Who is doing the bullying?  When is the bullying taking place?  What exactly is happening?  Where is the bullying taking place?  How is your child being bullied? 
 
All bullying, intimidation, and harassment reports will be kept confidential to the extent possible given the need to investigate.  Students who make good faith complaints will not be disciplined.
