INTRODUCING HIBster
The district has moved from paper reporting for potential Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying (HIB) incidents to a digital platform, HIBster. When you click on this link, which is also available on our district website under Anti-Bullying Information, you'll be walked through a definition of HIB before being able to proceed. If you submit a report, it will be routed to the appropriate school. If the incident does not meet the HIB criteria based on the definition provided, you would follow your school's procedure for reporting a behavior or Code of Conduct incident. For questions specific to HIBster, contact your building's Anti-Bullying Specialist or our district's Anti-Bullying Coordinators, listed here.
Additional HIB resources are available on the district website, under Anti-Bullying Information, including:
