Triad CUSD#2
Bullying Prevention Policies and Procedures
The Triad District is dedicated to the social-emotional development and safety of all children. We believe a student's right to feel safe in school is paramount and contributes significantly to his or her capacity for learning.
Bullying is defined by the Illinois School Code as “any severe or pervasive physical or verbal act or conduct, including communications made in writing or electronically, directed toward a student or students that has or can be predicted to have the effect of one or more of the following:
placing the student or students in reasonable fear of harm to the student’s or students’ person or property
causing a substantially detrimental effect on the student’s or students’ physical or mental health
substantially interfering with the student's or students’ academic performance
substantially interfering with the student’s or students’ ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities or privileges provided by the school.”
Bullying may take various forms, including without limitation to one of or more of the following: harassment, threats, intimidation, stalking, physical violence, sexual harassment, sexual violence, theft, public humiliation, destruction of property, or retaliation for asserting or alleging an act of bullying. Bullying is a serious offense, and is contrary to state law. Triad CUSD#2 Board of Education policies 7:180, 7:20, 7:190, 2:260, and 2:265 expressly forbid harassment and bullying in any form and describe procedures and consequences regarding such action.
All Triad District schools have a protocol for reporting harassment and bullying. Anyone, including staff members and parents/guardians, who has information about actual or threatened bullying is encouraged to report it to the District named officials or any staff member that they feel comfortable with. Students, staff and parents may report bullying directly to:
