  2. Bullying Investigation

Bullying Investigation

Bullying Investigation Process

STEP 1 BULLYING IS REPORTED

If a student believes that he or she has experienced bullying or witnesses the bullying of another student, the student or parent should notify a teacher, school counselor, principal, or another district employee as soon as possible. A student may anonymously report an alleged incident of bullying online here.  

STEP 2 INVESTIGATION BY SCHOOL STAFF

The administration will investigate any allegations of bullying and related misconduct. The target, perpetrator and witness (if applicable) are interviewed. The district will also provide notice to the parent of the alleged victim and the parent of the student alleged to have engaged in bullying. The Texas School Safety Center's Bullying Checklist for Schools is a part of all bullying investigations.

STEP 3 BULLYING DETERMINATION AND NOTIFICATION OF FINDINGS 

The district will provide notification of findings to the students involved, as well as their parents.

If an investigation determines that bullying occurred, the administration will take appropriate disciplinary action and may, in certain circumstances, notify law enforcement. Disciplinary or other action may be taken even if the conduct did not rise to the level of bullying. 

STEP 4 CONSEQUENCES FOR BULLYING

Consequences will be assigned as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. Rights to appeal are explained to all parties. Retaliation against students who report bullying will not be tolerated.
