[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you haven’t already, make a formal report using the word bullying. This meets the definition provided by FCPS:

“ Any aggressive and unwanted behavior that is intended to harm, intimidate, or humiliate the victim; involves a real or perceived power imbalance between the aggressor or aggressors and victim; and is repeated over time or causes severe emotional trauma. “Bullying” includes cyberbullying. “Bullying” does not include ordinary teasing, horseplay, argument, or peer conflict.”

Once you make the report, they are required to investigate the allegation AND all allegations are required to be documented in their system. Within 5 days of your reporting it, all parties (including the other parents) must receive a notice:

“FCPS employees are required to report immediately to the principal or designee any instance of bullying the staff member becomes aware of or witnesses. When a bullying allegation is reported to school administration, the Students Rights and Responsibilities states, "The principal is responsible for investigating and documenting all allegations of bullying. All allegations (whether founded or not) of bullying, including supporting information, shall be recorded in the Bullying and Harassment Management System (BHMS). In connection with any allegation of bullying, and within five school days of the initial report of such to a school official, the principal shall furnish notice regarding the status of the investigation to the parent/guardian of each student allegedly involved."

Your school has no incentive to help your child, but they do have incentive to keep their reported numbers low.

Hold up - stop.  The children saddled with the label “bully” will have that on the permanent record.

Do you really want to harm 2 innocent childrens for the rest of their life with this bully label??[/quote]

lol please. They don’t take any bullying seriously at the school. Even kids using homophobic slurs. And the only “permanent record” is an adult criminal record. [/quote]
