Bullying & Harassment Incident Reporting

According to the Ohio Revised Code 3313.666 & Board Policy 5527.01:

Harassment, intimidation, or “bullying" means either of the following:

(a) Any intentional written, verbal, electronic, or physical act that a student has exhibited toward another particular student more than once and the behavior both:
- (i) Causes mental or physical harm to the other student;
- (ii) Is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for the other student.
(b) Violence within a dating relationship.

Further, the ORC outlines a requirement that the district administration semi-annually provide the president of the district board a written summary of all reported incidents and post the summary on its website, if the district has a website.
