Bullying Incident Report Form
MANSON SCHOOL DISTRICT GUIDE TO REPORTING HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION & BULLYING (HIB)
The Manson School District harassment, intimidation & bullying (HIB) policy, procedure, flowchart and reporting form are included below as resources for students, parents/guardians and/or community members to help explain the district’s process for responding to a HIB concern.
WHAT IS HIB?
Per district policy 3207, HIB is any intentional electronic, written, verbal or physical act of a student that:
-
Physically harms another student or damages their property;
-
Has the effect of greatly interfering with another student’s education; OR
-
Is so severe, persistent, or significant that it creates an intimidating or threatening education environment for other students
HIB generally involves an observed or perceived power imbalance and is repeated multiple times or is highly likely to be repeated. By law, HIB is not allowed in our schools. We take all HIB reports seriously and follow up on them per the flowchart linked below.
Please see our district policy & procedure (linked below) for more information:
- Harassment Intimidation & Bullying Policy 3207 (English)
- Harassment Intimidation & Bullying Policy 3207 (Spanish)
HOW CAN I MAKE A REPORT OR COMPLAINT ABOUT HIB?
There are multiple ways to make a HIB report:
-
Complete the HIB Form
-
Make a report verbally or in writing to any administrator or staff member
Reports can be made anonymously if you are uncomfortable revealing your identity. Reports can also be made confidentially if you prefer your identity not be shared with other students involved in the report. No disciplinary action will be taken against another student based solely on an anonymous or confidential report.
If a staff member is notified of HIB behavior or observes, overhears or otherwise witnesses HIB behavior, they must take prompt and appropriate action to stop the HIB behavior and prevent it from happening again.
WHO CAN I CONTACT REGARDING HIB COMPLAINTS OR REPORTS?
Our building administrators and counselors support all staff and students through HIB reports.
