4.
Bullying and Hazing
Students are prohibited from engaging in conduct, whether written, verbal, or physical, that
unreasonably interferes with another's participation in or enjoyment at school or school-related
activities, such as bullying or hazing. The Board of Education has adopted a policy on bullying as a
part of Board Policy 2000.06 Policy. A corresponding administrative regulation (AR 2006) has been
developed to implement the policy.
“Hazing,” for the purpose of this Student Code of Conduct, means initiating another student into any
grade, school, or school-related activity by any means or methods that may cause physical or
emotional pain, embarrassment, or discomfort.
5.
Coercion, Extortion, and Blackmail
A student shall not commit or attempt to commit coercion, extortion, or blackmail. A student shall
not engage in the act of securing or attempting to secure money or other items of value by the use
of threats and/or violence, nor shall a student, by threats and/or violence, force another person to
perform an unwilling act.
6.
Copyrighted Material
A student shall not unlawfully duplicate, reproduce, retain, or use copyrighted material.
7.
Criminal Acts
A student shall not commit or participate in any conduct or act defined as a crime by federal or state
law or local ordinance.
