PVSD Bullying Definition

AB 1156, as of July 1, 2012, encourages the

inclusion of policies and procedures aimed at

the prevention of bullying in comprehensive

school safety plans. The bill also requires the

Department of Justice and the State Department

of Education to contract to provide training in

the prevention of bullying, as defined in the bill.

Read AB 1156 here.

The Pleasant Valley School District has

instituted the Safe and Civil Schools: CHAMPS

approach on each campus. The strategies

addressed in CHAMPS focus on our continued

effort to Response to Intervention (RtI),

clarifying expectations, and providing

meaningful professional development for

faculty.

The PVSD Bullying program includes

procedures for reporting and investigating

alleged acts of bullying. This includes a rubric

to determine if it was an act of bullying.

More Information regarding how bullying is

reported, investigated and dealt with can be

found on the Bullying Webpage on the PVSD

Website
