Dallas ISD Bullying Policy

Reports of bullying should be made as soon as possible after the alleged act or knowledge of the alleged act. A failure to promptly report may impair the District’s ability to investigate and address the prohibited conduct.

Any student who believes that he or she has experienced bullying or believes that another student has experienced bullying should immediately report the alleged acts to a teacher, counselor, principal, or other district employee. A report may be made orally or in writing.

To report after hours parents and students can contact Office of Professional Responsibility Hotline at 1-800-530-1608, which is staffed 24 hours a day.

Also, students, parents, and staff may now also report in "The Say Something Anonymous Reporting System". This allows you to submit secure, anonymous safety concerns to help someone who may hurt themselves or others. You can use the mobile app (SAY), or call at 1.844.5.SAYNOW, or on line at SAYSOMETHING.NET
