Key highlights from the Osseo Area Schools Policy 514 on Bullying Prohibition and Policy 548 Harassment:
Bullying Prohibition Policy 514
“Bullying” means intimidating, threatening, abusive, or harming conduct that is objectively offensive and:
- an actual or perceived imbalance of power exists between the student engaging in the prohibited conduct and the target of the prohibited conduct, and the conduct is repeated or forms a pattern; or
- materially and substantially interferes with a student’s educational opportunities or performance or ability to participate in school functions or activities or receive school benefits, services, or privileges.
Any person who believes he or she has been the victim of bullying or any person with knowledge or belief of conduct that may constitute bullying will report the alleged acts immediately to the building principal, site leader or the his or her designee.
Within three days of receipt of a complaint or report of bullying, the school district will undertake or authorize an investigation by school district officials.
