BULLYING INFORMATION

The Kansas State Department of Education, in partnership with Kansas Children's Service League, is proud to announce the availability of the Bullying Prevention Hotline. This free, anonymous service is available to provide counsel and resources to those who have questions or concerns about bullying situations.

The 24-hour hotline can be reached at 1-800-332-6378 or 1-800-CHILDREN. You can also contact the hotline via text or email at 1800children@kcsl.org.

Provided through a Safe and Supportive School grant, the hotline is staffed by trained professionals and volunteers who listen to each caller's concerns and seek to provide the caller with resources to assist him or her.

The Bullying Prevention Hotline should not be confused with the School Safety Hotline. The School Safety Hotline should still be used to report potential violent acts at schools. Students who feel unsafe at school could call either hotline; the professionals at the Bullying Prevention Hotline will forward any calls where they feel there is the potential for violence, or that a student may harm him or herself or others to the School Safety Hotline.

USD 384 BULLYING POLICY

The Board of Education prohibits bullying in any form on school property, in a school vehicle, or at a school sponsored activity or event.
