Students shall conduct themselves in keeping with their level of maturity, acting with due regard for the supervisory authority vested by the Board in all district employees, for the educational purpose underlying all school activities, for the widely shared use of school property and for the right and welfare of other students. 

All employees of the district shall share responsibility for supervising the behavior of students, reporting harassment, and for seeing that they meet the standards of conduct which have been or may hereafter be established by the Board or its agents.
 
In each instance in which an employee acts to help a student conduct himself properly, emphasis shall be placed upon the growth of the student in ability to discipline 
himself/herself. 

This policy is intended to comply with RSA 193-F, which specifically identifies “bullying” as a form of pupil harassment.  Conduct constituting bullying will not be tolerated, and is prohibited by this Policy, in accordance with RSA 193-F.  For purposes of this policy, the term “bullying” means insults, taunts, or challenges, whether verbal or physical in nature, which are likely to intimidate, or provoke a violent or disorderly response.

With respect to “bullying,” reporting procedures shall be the same as required under  Policy JICK, the investigation shall be conducted in the same manner as specified in policy JICK, and any reprisals may be handled in the same manner as specified in policy JICK.  If the complaint is found to be valid, appropriate disciplinary action may be taken by the District.
