Harassment, Intimidation & Bullying

Central Valley is committed to a safe, civil educational environment for all students that is free from harassment, intimidation, or bullying.

DEFINITION OF HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION, OR BULLYING:

Any intentionally written message or image, including those that are electronically transmitted, a verbal, or physical act including but not limited to one shown to be motivated by race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or mental or physical disability (RCW 9A.36.080(3)) or any other distinguishing characteristics such as physical appearance, clothing or other apparel, socioeconomic status, gender identity, and marital status when an act:
  • Physically harms a student or damages the student's property at school; or
  • Has the effect of substantially interfering with a student's education; or
  • Is so severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating or threatening educational environment; or
  • Has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school.

Harassment, intimidation, or bullying can take many forms including slurs, rumors, jokes, innuendos, demeaning comments, drawings, cartoons, pranks, gestures, physical attacks, threats, or other written, oral, physical, or electronically transmitted messages or images.
