Epic's Bullying Policy

Epic Charter Schools supports a positive school climate conducive to teaching and learning that is free from threat, harassment, and all types of bullying. It is the policy of Epic Charter Schools to prohibit all bullying of any person at school. Prohibited conduct includes incidents of bullying instigated by the use of electronic communication specifically directed at students and/or school personnel. This policy extends to all schools that comprise the District. Bullying is an anti-social behavior that can occur in person or in online school spaces, and it distracts both the targeted student and the student engaging in the bullying.  Bullying a student based on their race, color, creed, disability, sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, or any other personal characteristic is grounds for disciplinary action. 70 Okla. State. Sec. 24-100.3.

Steps for Reporting Bullying:

​

• Incidents of reporting bullying shall be reported on the “District Bullying Report Form,” which shall be made available to students at all times during regular school hours, including in the main/front office of microsites, and obtainable through the school counseling department. 

• Submit the form to the teacher or the Managing Director of Instruction.

• Any individual reporting an incident of bullying may also do so by using the Protect OK App. 

• Reports may be made anonymously; however, no formal disciplinary action will be taken solely on the basis of an anonymous report.
