Është politikë e Shkollave Charter Epic të ndalojë çdo ngacmim të çdo personi në shkollë. Sjellja e ndaluar përfshin incidentet e ngacmimit të nxitura nga përdorimi i komunikimit elektronik të drejtuar posaçërisht ndaj nxënësve dhe/ose personelit të shkollës. Kjo politikë shtrihet në të gjitha shkollat që përbëjnë Distriktin. Ngacmimi është një sjellje antisociale që mund të ndodhë personalisht ose në hapësirat shkollore online, dhe shpërqendron si nxënësin e synuar ashtu edhe nxënësin që përfshihet në ngacmim. Ngacmimi i një nxënësi bazuar në racën, ngjyrën, besimin, aftësinë e kufizuar, seksin, orientimin seksual, moshën, fenë ose ndonjë karakteristikë tjetër personale është bazë për masa disiplinore. 70 Okla.

Albuteroli është një ilaç i thithur që hap shpejt tubat që lëvizin ajrin brenda dhe jashtë mushkërive, duke e bërë më të lehtë frymëmarrjen. Ky ilaç është i sigurt dhe efektiv. Meqenëse një atak astme mund të ndodhë në çdo kohë, të kesh qasje të shpejtë në albuterol është e rëndësishme për t'i bërë shkollat të sigurta për fëmijët me astmë. Disa personel nga shkolla e fëmijës suaj janë trajnuar për t'iu përgjigjur shpejt dhe në mënyrë të sigurt urgjencave respiratore. Ndërsa stafi i shkollës do të bëjë çdo përpjekje për të kontaktuar prindërit para se të japë albuterol, ligji u lejon atyre të administrojnë albuterol në rast urgjence pa kontakt paraprak prindëror. Nëse fëmija juaj ka astmë, ju nxisim të njoftoni shkollën e fëmijës suaj dhe t'u jepni atyre një plan veprimi për astmën nga mjeku i fëmijës suaj. Meqenëse inhalatori standard i albuterolit nuk ka për qëllim të zëvendësojë inhalatorin personal të një fëmije, ju inkurajojmë gjithashtu të dërgoni një inhalator personal albuteroli për përdorim në shkollë nëse fëmija juaj ka astmë.
