    Bullying: Bullying, as the term is defined in Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-751.4), is strictly prohibited. The Student Code of Conduct for all schools within the school system expressly prohibits bullying.

    If you or your student believe that a student is being bullied, please report it to a school staff member or administrator immediately.

    Bullying is defined as an act that is:

         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; or

         3. Any intentional written, verbal, or physical act that a reasonable person would perceive as being intended to threaten, harass,           or intimidate, that:

             • causes another person substantial physical harm or visible bodily harm;

             • 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; or,

             • has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school.
