Harassment, Intimidation, & Bullying

Beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, the Manville School District has conscientiously implemented the requirements found in the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act. Since the initial implementation, we have made progress in addressing and reducing harassment, intimidation and bullying by improving each school’s climate and culture.

While completing the Self-Assessment, we learned that our school district has demonstrated strengths in these areas:

• HIB Investigation Procedures and Timelines
• Curriculum and Instruction on HIB
• HIB Reporting
• HIB Policy and Guidelines
• HIB Awareness for Students
• Staff Training

The Self-Assessment helped our school district to identify a specific area for improvement in the following:

• Professional Development for School Safety Teams

During the upcoming year, the Manville School District will continue working towards improving in this area and will seek community involvement and support.

2022–23 District and School Grade Report

The Manville Board of Education prohibits acts of harassment, intimidation, or bullying of a pupil. A safe and civil environment in school is necessary for pupils to learn and achieve high academic standards. Harassment, intimidation, or bullying, like other disruptive or violent behaviors, is conduct that disrupts both a pupil’s ability to learn and a school’s ability to educate its pupils in a safe and disciplined environment. Since pupils 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.
