A safe and civil environment is needed for students to learn and attain high academic standards and to promote healthy human relationships.  Bullying, like other violent or disruptive behavior, interferes with students’ ability to learn and teachers’ ability to educate students in a safe and welcoming environment.

Any time you witness or are involved in a situation involving harassment, violence, or bullying behavior it is important to report it.  Help is available; speak with your Teacher, School Principal, or another trusted adult at school, home, or in your community.

To the extent such conduct affects the educational environment of the Duluth School District and the rights and welfare of its students and is within the control of the Duluth School District in its normal operations, it is the Duluth School District’s intent to prevent bullying and to take action to investigate, respond, remediate, and discipline those acts of bullying which have not been successfully prevented.
