Within that page, you can find the new form to report Challenging Behavior. District polices have been updated around bullying and challenging behavior. The new document reflects the new language and policies, along with a new reporting form.
"This form is for students, parents or guardians of students enrolled in the school, and school employees to report any alleged challenging behavioral incidents. Challenging behavior is behavior that negatively impacts school climate or interferes, or is at risk with interfering, with the learning or safety of a student or the safety of a school employee. This form should also be used to report alleged bullying incidents, meaning: unwanted and aggressive behavior among children in grades kindergarten to twelve, inclusive, that involves a real or perceived power imbalance."
