Bullying Students and ANY adult that experiencing and/or aware of someone being bullied Must Report It! If it is not being reported than we cannot address the situation Once a report comes to the office, administration begins an investigation Call in students for more information Collect witness statements if others are aware Some investigations take longer because other departments are involved- Transportation ( wait for film to be pulled, bus driver witness statement, etc.) Contact parent if they are not aware Conferences are held with students Cease and Decease Orders David s Law Overview if Warranted Suspensions Pathways
Davids Law Deals with Cyberbullying The bullying provisions in the Education Code (including pre-existing law and changes made by David s Law) apply to: Bullying that occurs on or is delivered to a school property or to the site of a school-sponsored or school-related activity on or off school property; Bullying that occurs on a publicly or privately owned school bus or vehicle being used for transportation of students to or from school or a school-sponsored or school-related activity; Cyberbullying that occurs off school property or outside of a school- sponsored or school-related activity if the cyberbullying interferes with a student 's educational opportunities or substantially disrupts the orderly operation of a classroom, school, or school-sponsored or school-related activity. (This expansion of a school district s authority to include off- campus incidents is one of the most significant aspects of David s Law.)
Davids Law This law authorizes a school to remove a student who is engaging in bullying activity from class and place them in a disciplinary alternative education program or expel them if they encourage a student to commit or attempt to commit suicide; incite violence against a student through group bullying; or release or threaten to release intimate visual material of a minor or of a student who is 18 years of age or older without the student 's consent. David s Law creates a new avenue of civil relief for cyberbullying victims who are minors by allowing a cyberbullying victim younger than 18 years of age at the time the cyberbullying occurs (or a parent of or person standing in parental relation to that victim) to seek injunctive relief, such as a temporary restraining order and/or an injunction, against the cyberbully, with some of the requirements normally applicable to injunctive relief being significantly relaxed.
Davids Law Also, these victims will be able to have the court issue an injunction against not only the cyberbully, but also against the cyberbully s parents, requiring those parents to take action to stop their child from cyberbullying. David s Law changes Section 42.07 of the Penal Code, better known as the Harassment Statute, to more fully and clearly include the modern Internet-based communication tools and methods perpetrators use to cyberbully their victims. Also, under the changes made by David s Law, if a person commits an offense under the cyberbullying provision of the Harassment Statute, it is a Class A misdemeanor (rather than merely a Class B misdemeanor) if: The person has previously been convicted under this section; or The offense was committed against a child under 18 years of age with the intent that the child commit suicide or engage in conduct causing serious bodily injury to the child; or The person has previously violated a temporary restraining order or injunction issued under the new civil provisions in David s Law (discussed above).
