CPS Bullying Policies

Missouri's updated bullying law went into effect, which requires schools to report and investigate incidents of alleged bullying following specific procedures. Be assured that safety for all students is and has always been a high priority of the Columbia Public Schools, and that reports of bullying are, and have always been, taken seriously and investigated. The recent change in the law has simply created a more standardized process for reporting and investigating alleged incidents of bullying. If you have knowledge of a bullying situation that you want to report, please complete and return the Bullying Report Form to the building principal. An investigation will be completed with a variety of individuals to ensure objectivity is achieved. If you have any questions, please contact the building principal.
