Granite School District strives to provide safe, supportive, and welcoming schools for all students. District policies prohibits conduct that is unsafe, disruptive, or disrespectful toward others.*

District policies do not allow for unsafe conduct. For example, District policies prohibit threats or acts of violence; real or lookalike weapons; explosive or flammable materials; gang activity; criminal behavior; destruction or damage to property; willful disobedience or defiance; and possession of illegal drugs, alcohol, or other prohibited substances.

Bullying, Cyberbullying, Harassment, Hazing, and Other Similar Conduct

Bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, hazing, and other similar offensive conduct is also prohibited. Generally, this type of
conduct includes an intent to cause distress or harm; involves a relationship with an imbalance of power; and includes repeated
acts (or one serious act) of violence, intimidation, humiliation, or social isolation. Offending conduct can be physical, verbal, or
written and may come in the form of social pressure, criticism, disrespectful behavior, or excluding others from an activity
intentionally. Conduct may be intended as retaliation toward another person, which is also prohibited. Offending conduct may
be obvious or subtle and it can include enlisting another person to commit the prohibited actions. Offending conduct can also
be considered discrimination if the conduct is based on a person’s race, gender, or some other protected classification.

Reporting and Correcting Offending Conduct

If you are treated in the ways described above, or you see another person being treated that way, please report the conduct as soon as possible. There are many ways to make a report:

• you can talk to your principal, teacher, or another employee at the school;
