We are an Anti-Bullying District Any acts of bullying of a student are prohibited by the Plainfield Community School Corporation. A safe and civil environment in school is necessary for students to learn and achieve high academic standards. Bullying, like other disruptive or violent behaviors, is conduct that disrupts both a student’s ability to learn and a school’s ability to educate its students in a safe and disciplined environment. Since students learn by example, school administrators, faculty, staff and volunteers should be commended for demonstrating appropriate behavior; treating others with civility and respect; and refusing to tolerate harassment, intimidation or bullying.

Intent to cause harm 3. creating a objectively hostile environment These behaviors are not considered bullying 1. peer conflict horseplay fighting where both parties equally participated
