The Cab Calloway bullying policy consists of mediation, conflict resolution, empathy and interpersonal skill development. Parent contact and involvement is implemented as necessary.

The Cab Calloway bullying committee:

• If a faculty/staff member observes bullying behavior or has been informed by a student and/or parent that bullying behavior is taking place they are to report it to the school administration and/or school counselors immediately.
• When bullying behavior is reported students involved are called to the office and asked to write a statement, which includes identifying anyone who may have witnessed the incident. Witnesses are interviewed and asked to write statements as well.
• Once it has been established that a bullying (systematic and repeated) behavior has taken place and consequences have been issued per the RCCSD Code of Conduct (pg. 54) then DOE will be contacted.
• Caregivers and students are encouraged to report bullying behavior when it occurs via phone, email, or written correspondence.
• Caregivers are contacted when bullying has been reported and confirmed by the school administration.
• When bullying has been confirmed, students both bully and victim are referred to
  the School Administration, School Counselors, and/or School Nurse and Wellness as needed. These school personnel will recommend if outside medical help is needed.
