Arts in Action Community Charter Schools (AIA) believes that all students have a right to a safe and healthy school environment, and will not tolerate behavior that infringes on the safety of any student. At StopBullying.gov, you will find information about the types of bullying, how it affects you and our community, and helpful resources for learning more about how we can maintain a safe and healthy school environment together. These definitions can also be found in the Arts in Action Bullying Procedures and Best Practices document.
AIA prohibits retaliatory behavior against any complainant of participant in the complaint process. Please contact Ms. Dust, Director of Student Culture or Site Director to report bullying. Bully Report forms are also available in both the Elementary and Middle School Sites to report bullying.
Any reports of bullying will be immediately addressed and an appropriate resolution reached to ensure the health and safety of all students.
If the complainant student or parent/guardian of the student feels that an appropriate resolution of the investigation or complaint has not been reached, the student or parent/guardian should contact the Dean of Student Culture. If this fails to bring about a resolution, the complainant may complete a written complaint form detailing the incident and what needs to be done to bring a resolution to the concern. This will be submitted to the Uniform Complaint Officer for follow up investigation under the Uniform Complaint Procedures (BP/AR 1312.3).
