DISD Bullying Reporting

Denison ISD prohibits bullying as defined by policy.  

 

Conduct is considered bullying if it:

1. exploits an imbalance of power between the student perpetrator and the student victim through written or verbal expression or physical conduct; and 

2. interferes with a student’s education or substantially disrupts the operation of a school.

3. displays discriminatory harassment activity on the basis of sex, race/color/national origin, and disability.

​

To obtain assistance and intervention, any student who believes that he or she has experienced bullying or believes that another student has experienced bullying should immediately report the alleged acts to a teacher, counselor, principal, or other district employee.

 

Timely Reporting

Reports of bullying shall be made as soon as possible after the alleged act or knowledge of the alleged act.  A failure to immediately report may impair the school district’s ability to investigate and address the prohibited conduct. You will find a link on each DISD campus home page to file a bullying incident report.
