Bullying
Bullying is a way of using power aggressively in which a person is subjected to intentional, unwanted, and unprovoked hurtful verbal and/or physical actions. An act of bullying results in the targeted student feeling oppressed, fearful, distressed, injured, or uncomfortable. The aggression is repeated on more than one occasion and can include physical, verbal, emotional, racial, sexual, written, electronic, damage to property, social exclusion, and intimidation. Bullying may be motivated by actual or perceived characteristics such as race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, mental, physical, or academic disability. Additional characteristics may be the actual or perceived basis for bullying, please see APS Policy on Nondiscrimination. Bullying often takes place in a social context. (If seeking long-term suspension, documentation of intervention and training for the aggressor must be included with referral.)
