The Irvington School District is committed to eliminating bullying, harassing, and hazing behaviors from our school community. All stakeholders are asked to report incidents involving such behaviors. Our school DASA Coordinators will review all submissions thoroughly.
A member of a Board of Education, a school staff member, student, or a community member who has witnessed, or has reliable information that a student has been subject to, harassment, intimidation or bullying shall report the incident to the appropriate school official designated by the School District's policy, or to any school administrator, who will immediately initiate the school district’s procedures concerning school bullying. All IUFSD stakeholders are asked to report all incidents.
Anyone who files a report/claim he/she knows to be false will be held responsible and reported to an appropriate law enforcement agency. Under no circumstances will false reports ever be considered "a joke" or "minor mischief." They will be immediately reported.
