The principal of each school will be responsible for overseeing the plan. He or she will receive the reports
<br /> on bullying, collect and analyze the data, keep the records and track the incidents of students who are targets or
<br /> aggressors, and offer support(s) to assist the students. This tracking will be done with the data analysis system that
<br /> Mashpee currently utilizes, Powerschool. Within this program a new column has been added (bullying), allowing
<br /> Mashpee to keep up-to-the-minute data on bullying incidences.
<br /> The Mashpee School District prohibits all forms of harassment, discrimination, and hate crimes based on
<br /> race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability (School Committee Policy
<br /> ACC). The civil rights of all students and school community members are guaranteed by law, and the protection of
<br /> those rights is of utmost importance and priority to the school district. The district also prohibits bullying or
<br /> harassment of school community members for reasons unrelated to their race, color, religion, national origin,
<br /> ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability. The district will also not tolerate retaliation against persons who
<br /> take action consistent with this policy. No complaint is considered frivolous; on the other hand, culpability is never
<br /> presumed. These procedures are intended to protect the rights of a target and the rights of a wrongfully accused
<br /> individual.
<br /> This policy applies to all sites and activities the district supervises, controls, or where it has jurisdiction
<br /> under the law. It applies to all students, school committee members, school employees, independent contractors,
<br /> school volunteers, parents and legal guardians of students, and visitors to district schools where the conduct occurs
<br /> on school premises or in school-related activities, including in school-related transportation.
<br /> II — Training and Development
<br /> Training on the plan will be scheduled during the two staff training days before students return to school.
