CAMPUS SCHOOL at BOSTON COLLEGE 2025/2026
Bullying Prevention and Intervention

On May 3, 2010 Governor Patrick signed an Act Relative to Bullying in Schools. This law prohibits bullying and retaliation in all public and private schools, and requires schools and school districts to take certain steps to address bullying incidents. The Campus School Bullying Prevention and Intervention Plan addresses the mandate of the law (M.G.L. c. 71, 搂 370), as amended in 2014. The Plan applies to students and all members of a school staff and reflects an emphasis on the cultivation of a positive atmosphere of learning and friendship. Campus School recognizes that there are enumerated categories of students who may be more vulnerable to being targets of bullying based on actual or perceived differentiating characteristics. Campus School supports these vulnerable students and the skills, knowledge and strategies needed to prevent or respond to bullying or harassment. Under the new law, publicly funded schools must notify families and guardians of targets of bullying of the availability of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education's Problem Resolution System and assist parents and guardians in understanding the problem resolution process.聽

The laws amendment, Chapter 86 of the Acts of 2014, also requires that schools collect and report data to the Department regarding the number of reported allegations of bullying or retaliation, the number and nature of substantiated incidents of bullying and retaliation, the number of students disciplined for engaging in bullying or retaliation, and other information as required by the Department. The Department is required to analyze the data and to issue a report annually to the legislature which contains statewide aggregated data on the nature and frequency of bullying in schools. Additionally, as of school-year 2025, a department-developed student survey will be conducted at least once every four years to assess school climate and the prevalence, nature and severity of bullying in schools. The Department of Elementary & Secondary Education will use survey results to, among other things, assess the effectiveness of bullying prevention curricula and instruction and identify long-term trends and areas of improvement, and will make its findings available to school officials.

These requirements are delineated in Campus School's Bullying Prevention and Intervention Plan, which includes information about the policies and procedures that the Campus School follows to prevent bullying and retaliation, or to respond to it if it occurs. The following terms have been defined to aid in mutual understanding and to support a collaborative effort to ensure safe and supportive learning environments for all students.
