Bullying Prevention and Incident Reporting
-
The Public Schools of Brookline is deeply committed to preventing and responding to bullying and all other forms of misconduct. PSB is committed to providing a workplace and educational environment free from sexual misconduct or bias-based conduct related to a student’s, employee’s, or other community member’s identity, such as race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.
Please see the form below to report a concern regarding possible misconduct by a Public Schools of Brookline (PSB) student, employee, family member, contractor, volunteer, or visitor that has harmed the learning and working environment. Concerns may include possible bias-based conduct, sexual misconduct, bullying, violence, or threats prohibited under the PSB Student Civil Rights Policy, Bullying Prevention Policy, Student Code of Conduct, or other PSB policies and expectations. Depending on the nature of the concern, it will be referred to the Office of Student Services, Human Resources, or another PSB department.
Retaliation for reporting these concerns or engaging in the investigation process is strictly prohibited. Concerns will remain as confidential as practicable. In certain instances, we may be required to disclose an allegation either to impacted students or families and/or relevant PSB staff or law enforcement in order to investigate the matter.
Important: PSB employees are mandatory reporters of any possible bias-based conduct, sexual misconduct, or violence toward a student, or any abuse or neglect of a student. Any staff member who witnesses or becomes aware of possible mistreatment of a student must immediately inform a school administrator or the Office of Student Services.
PSB’s ability to thoroughly investigate an allegation depends on the information provided, so please provide as much detail as possible below. Anonymous concerns will be investigated to the extent possible, but disciplinary action may be limited when concerns are shared anonymously. PSB staff may not report anonymously.
For more information, please refer to the PSB Student Civil Rights Policy and/or Employee Code of Conduct, available at all schools and on the PSB website
