Bullying Prevention in District 69

In District 69, in partnership with families and our community, District 69 supports every child's development within an environment of belonging. To accomplish this, the District utilizes policies to address and prevent bullying in our schools. 

What is bullying?
Board Policy 7:180, Prevention of and Response to Bullying, Intimidation, and Harassment, defines bullying as “any severe or pervasive physical or verbal act or conduct, including communications made in writing or electronically, directed toward a student or students that has or can reasonably be predicted to have the effect of one or more of the following:  

Placing the student or students in reasonable fear of harm to the student’s or students’ person or property. 
Causing a substantially detrimental effect on the student’s or students’ physical or mental health.  
Substantially interfering with the student’s or students’ academic performance. 
Substantially interfering with the student’s or students’ ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or privileges provided by a school.”  

How do I report potential bullying?
Families are encouraged to report any incidents of bullying by emailing their school’s administration:
PreSchoolInfo@Skokie69.net
MadisonInfo@Skokie69.net
EdisonInfo@Skokie69.net

At Lincoln, students and families can also report any incidents by utilizing Lincoln’s anonymous Incident Reporter found here. 

If an incident requires immediate attention outside of school hours, students and families should contact the local police department.
