“Bullying means a single significant act or a pattern of acts by one or more students directed at another student that exploits an imbalance of power and involves engaging in written or verbal expression, through electronic means, or physical conduct, and that has the effect or will have the effect of physically harming a student, causing a student to experience substantial negative mental health effects, damaging a student ’s property, or placing a student in reasonable fear of harm to the student’s person or of damage to the student’s property; is sufficiently severe, persistent, and pervasive enough that the action or threat creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for a student; disrupts the educational process or the orderly operation of a classroom or school and includes cyberbullying.” (Senate Bill 179, AKA “David’s Law”)

Students are encouraged to report any bullying or harassment to school officials; they can also make anonymous reports through the Dragon Tip Line.
