Harassment of students by other students will not be tolerated in the school district.  Harassment is a violation of school district policies, rules, and regulations and, in some cases, may also be a violation of criminal or other laws.  The school district has the authority to report students violating this rule to law enforcement officials.
     Students or individuals who feel that they have been harassed by other students should:
        1.  Communicate to the harasser that the individual expects the behavior to stop, if the individual is comfortable
             doing so.  If the individual needs assistance communicating with the harasser, he/she should ask a teacher,
             counselor, or administrator to help.

        2.  If the harassment does not stop, or the individual does not feel comfortable confronting the harasser, he/she
             should:
                A.  tell a teacher, counselor, or administrator; and

                B.  write down exactly what happened, keep a copy and give another copy to the teacher, counselor, or
                      administrator, including:  what, when, and where it happened; who was involved; exactly what was
                      said or what the harasser did; witnesses to the harassment; what the individual said or did, either at the
                      time or later; how the individual felt; and how the harasser responded.
