Berkley Public Schools expects that all members of the school community will treat each other in a civil manner and with respect for differences. Berkley Public Schools is committed to providing all students with a safe learning environment free from bullying and cyberbullying. This commitment is integral to our comprehensive efforts to promote learning and prevent and eliminate bullying and other harmful and disruptive behavior that can impede the learning process.

Berkley Public Schools recognizes that certain students may be more vulnerable to becoming targets of bullying, harassment, or teasing based on actual or perceived characteristics, including race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, socioeconomic status, homelessness, academic status, gender identity or expression, physical appearance, or sensory, disability, or by association with a person who has or is perceived to have one or more of these characteristics. Berkley Public Schools will identify specific steps to create a safe, supportive environment for vulnerable populations in the school community and provide all students with the skills, knowledge, and strategies to prevent or respond to bullying, harassment, or teasing. 

Berkley Public Schools will not tolerate unlawful or disruptive behavior, including bullying, cyberbullying, or retaliation, in our school buildings, grounds, or school-related activities.  We will promptly investigate all reports and complaints of bullying, cyberbullying, and retaliation and take prompt action to end that behavior and restore the target’s sense of safety.  We will support this commitment in all aspects of our school community, including curricula, instructional programs, staff development, extracurricular activities, and parent or guardian involvement.
