Agenda Item: VII.D. |
Consider/Approve Amendment to Board Policy #6.304 – Student Discrimination/ Harassment and Bullying/Intimidation |
|
|
Background Information: The amendment to Board Policy #6.304 – Student Discrimination/ Harassment and Bullying/Intimidation, is recommended by TSBA. The anti-hazing language has been moved from Board Policy #4.301 – Interscholastic Athletics (Item VII.B), which deals exclusively with athletic programs, and has been placed in Board Policy #6.304, which deals, in part, with anti-bullying programs. Additionally, the language now specifically applies to all school programs, and not just athletics. The underlined language is recommended for addition, and, upon approval, will be added to our current policy, which mirrors the policy recommended by TSBA. Staff Recommendation: I recommend approval of the amendment to Board Policy #6.304 – Student Discrimination/ Harassment and Bullying/Intimidation, on second and final reading. |
