Bullying Policy

The Greater Newark Charter School Board of Trustees believes that harassing, intimidating, bullying and hazing activities of any type are inconsistent with the educational process and the Board prohibits all such harassing, intimidating, bullying and/or hazing behavior at any time on school premises, at any school-sponsored function or on any school bus. A safe and civil environment in school is necessary for students to learn and achieve high academic standards. The Board expects students to conduct themselves with a proper respect for self and others and a proper regard for the rights and welfare of other students and school staff as well as the school facilities and equipment. Harassment, intimidation, bullying or hazing, like other disruptive or violent behaviors, is conduct that disrupts both a student's ability to learn and a school's ability to educate its students in a safe environment. Pupils are expected to conduct themselves on school property, at school sponsored events and on school buses.

See booklet for more information on what parents need to know about cyberbullying.
