Student Resources / Bullying

Bullying and other forms of intimidation will not be tolerated in any form and are strictly prohibited by the Atlanta Board of Education Policy (JCD) and Georgia law (O.C.G.A.20-2-715.1).The term “bullying” shall mean:

     1. Any willful attempt or threat to inflict injury on another person, when

         accompanied by an apparent present ability to do so; or

     2. Any intentional display of force such as would give the victim reason to

         fear or expect immediate bodily harm.

All students in grades K-12 found guilty of “bullying” will be disciplined. Any student in grades 6-12 found guilty of “bullying” for the third time in a school year will be assigned to a non-traditional school/alternative school.
