FDB - ADMISSIONS:  INTRADISTRICT TRANSFERS

VICTIM OF BULLYING

On the request of a parent or other person with authority to act on behalf of a student who is a victim of bullying, the Principal shall transfer the victim to another classroom.

In the event that the School has only one classroom which offers the coursework which both the bully and the victim need, the bully will be placed in the disciplinary alternative education placement.

"Bullying" means engaging in written or verbal expression or physical conduct that a board or its designee determines:

1. Will have the effect of physically harming a student, damaging a student's property, or placing a student in reasonable fear of harm to the student's person or of damage to the student's property; or
2. Is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that the action or threat creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for a student.

The Principal shall verify that a student has been a victim of bullying before transferring the student.

The Principal may consider past student behavior when identifying a bully.

The determination by the Principal is final and may not be appealed.
