Bullying Prevention & Reporting

2 years ago

Preventing Bullying in LCSD1 Schools

Bullying creates a hostile educational environment through domination and aggression that harms the victim psychologically, emotionally and/or socially. Bullying is when someone repeatedly and on purpose says or does mean or hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending himself or herself. This includes but is not limited to the following: physical or emotional harm, property damage, insulting or demeaning behavior, intimidation, cyber-bullying and social isolation.

LCSD1’s Board of Trustees approved the use of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) districtwide for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. With more than 35 years of research and successful implementation around the world, OBPP is a whole-school program proven to prevent or reduce bullying throughout a school setting.


If you are a LCSD1 student who is experiencing bullying or if you are a parent or guardian and wish to report bullying, please contact your school principal.

In addition, parents who are not comfortable speaking with their child’s school personnel may contact the Violence Prevention Facilitator - Chris Zimny, with LCSD1 Safe and Drug Free Schools at 307-771-2204.
