This includes appropriate intervention, restoration of a positive climate, and support for victims and others impacted by the violation. False reports or retaliation for anyone thought to have reported harassment, intimidation or bullying is prohibited and will be treated as a serious violation, subject to disciplinary actions.

Policy 3207 - Prohibition of Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying

Procedure 3207 - Prohibition of Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying

RCW 28A.600.477 defines harassment, intimidation, or bullying as any intentionally written message or image—including those that are electronically transmitted—verbal, or physical act, including but not limited to one shown to be motivated by race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, including gender expression or identity, mental or physical disability or other distinguishing characteristics when an act:

  • Physically harms a student or damages the student's property.
  • Has the effect of substantially interfering with a student's education.
  • Is so severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating or threatening educational environment.
  • Has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school.

Harassment and bullying behaviors can be viewed in two categories:

  • Harassment: Serious, unwanted conduct, such as threats or physical actions;
  • Bullying:  Ongoing, unwanted behavior, a pattern of behavior rather than random incidents of meanness or hurtful behavior.

The core goal of harassment/bullying behavior is power over the victim which is satisfied based on how the victim reacts or responds.

To report an instance of harassment, intimidation, or bullying please contact your school administrator or fill out the incident reporting form.
