representative.
 The Anti-Bullying Act of 2012 was
approved on May requiring all
elementary and secondary schools to
adopt anti-bullying policies.
 The objective of the policy is to
observe and promote zero
tolerance on any act of child
abuse, exploitation, violence,
discrimination, bullying, and other
forms of abuse in school.

• Respond in a timely manner and
investigate reports of bullying;

they need additional protection;
• Provide counseling and other
necessary services for the victims,
perpetrators and family members.

• Allow students to anonymously report
bullying provided, that no disciplinary
administrative action will be taken against
the reported student based solely on the
anonymous report;
• Provide sanction to a student who makes
false accusation of bullying;
• Educate students on the anti-bullying
policies and dynamics of bullying;
Procedures and strategies for Bullying:

polices, dynamics of bullying and how parents and
