Safe School Plan - William S. Hart Union High School District

A growing form of bullying is cyberbullying. ”’Cyberbullying’ is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed,
humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or
mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor. Once adults become
involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyberstalking. Adult cyber-harassment or cyberstalking is NEVER called
cyberbullying.” 9
When cyberbullying is reported, inform the target to keep all of the evidence. 10 Refer the student (target) to the Assistant Principals’ office.
After receiving the facts of the cyberbullying, the administrator will investigate the claim. The administrator may consult with the resource
deputy to determine is any laws have been violated. Based on the extent of harm committed, the administrator will assign a consequence that
is commensurate with the cyberbullying offense. 11 The administrator will contact parents of both parties (target and aggressor), and inform
them of the incident and any consequences assigned.
INCIDENT: MEDICAL EMERGENCY
Pursuant to Administrative Regulation 5141.21(a) (see appendix A), should a medical emergency occur involving a student, the Health
Assistant will contact the student’s parent/guardian as soon as is practicable. The names of and the phone numbers for parents/guardians are
readably available in the STU and PHONE files in SASIxp. Contacting the parents/guardians will be done by the telephone.
By state education law, students may not carry medications with them while attending school. However, under special circumstances when
school attendance is contingent upon uninterrupted medication necessitating a dose during the school day, and when the physician having
responsibility for the medical care of the child makes a specific recommendation, an exception may be made. In such a case the following
procedures must be followed:
1. Submit a Request for Medication form or a Self-Administration Medication form, if applicable, with both parent and physician
signature authorizing the:
A. method,
B. amount, and
C. time schedules the specified medication is to be taken.
2. Assure that each medication is:
A. in its original container,
B. clearly labeled, with
i. the pupil’s full name,
ii. the physician’s name and phone number,
iii. the name of the medication,
iv. dosage,
v. schedule, and
vi. date of expiration of this prescription.
3. The school needs to be informed when any medication change is made. This includes a change in the type or nature of medication, as
well as a change in the dosage of medication.
Parents are responsible to coordinate having medications at school with the school’s health assistant. The health assistant will record the
student’s medical condition and medication(s) prescribed to manage the condition. If a student must carry any medical equipment with them
while at school, the parent/guardian must inform the health assistant and/or district school nurse. The health assistant will also record this in
the student’s SASIxp health record.
