Bullying Policy

Bullying in any form is in direct opposition to the spiritual and educational purposes of SBEC and is a threat to the well being of the stakeholders of our school.

Therefore, any action which is deemed by the administration to be a negative, on-going, deliberate, willful, and persistent action by one or more students that hurts, frightens, or threatens anyone associated with SBEC will not be permitted. These may include, but are not limited to, any physical actions, emotional tormenting, or anything that is sexually suggestive in nature.

These actions may be considered “Cyber-bullying” if they occur through any social network media. Any postings through a social network media that are deemed by the administration to be offensive, disrespectful, deliberate, repeated, and/or hostile and that are directed toward SBEC or anyone associated with SBEC will be considered bullying and will be addressed under this policy.

All students, school personnel, and those affiliated with SBEC are strongly encouraged to bring any such action to the attention of the school administration.

Should the administration determine that a violation of this policy has occurred, the student (s) will be subject to disciplinary action, including the possibility of permanent dismissal.
