Duplication of work is the presentation of the same work for different
assessment components or classes (“double dipping” on assignments without
instructor permission).

Any behavior that would gain an unfair advantage for a student or that would
affect the results of another student.

Anti-Bullying

Stafford County Public Schools and the Brooke Point Black-Hawks are
committed to creating a safe, caring, respectful learning environment for all
students. Bullying of students is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. For
the purposes of the policy, “school” includes school buildings, school grounds,
school-sponsored social events, trips, sporting events, buses, bus stops, and
also via electronic media. Reported incidents of bullying will be investigated
promptly and thoroughly by school administration.

A. Definition of Bullying
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children
that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is
repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who
are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems.

B. Prevention Measures

1. Student Instruction/Awareness
Bullying behaviors are unacceptable. Ongoing instruction is provided
through the Character Education and other instruction programs in
the K-12 Stafford County Public Schools curriculum.

2. Staff Awareness/Action
School personnel shall receive in-service training on anti-bullying
policy to ensure a consistent approach is adopted on a division-wide
basis. The school administration requires all staff members who
observe, suspect, or become aware of an act of bullying to
immediately notify an administrator.

3. Student/Parent Action
The school system encourages students and parents who become
aware of an act of bullying to immediately report the incident(s) to a
school administrator for further investigation. Any student who
retaliates against another for reporting bullying will also be subject to
consequences.
