ANTI-BULLYING POLICY


Sapulpa Public Schools expressly prohibits any form of bullying, including by electronic communication, and urges those who are subject to or witness such behavior to report it immediately to a school official or law enforcement.

Sapulpa School Board of Education policy 540.1.7 outlines the district's purpose about bullying and includes this Student Prevention and Intervention Report form.

Staff receive annual training regarding preventing, identifying, reporting and managing bullying. All employees are required to report acts of bullying to the school principal or his/her designee on an official report form. Any staff member who witnesses, hears about, or has reliable information that would lead a reasonable person to suspect that a student is a target of bullying is required to submit a report.

Each school site has a designated individual and an alternate to investigate bullying reports. For any alleged incidents of bullying reported to school officials, the designated investigator will investigate the alleged incident(s) and determine 1) whether the bullying conduct occurred; 2) the severity of the incident(s); and 3) the potential for future violence. The assigned investigator will notify the parents of a target with in two (2) school days that a bullying report has been received. Within two (2) school days of the conclusion of the investigation, the investigator will provide the parents of a target with the results and any community resources deemed appropriate.
