Bullying Prevention

Bullying has many formal definitions, but typically it is when someone repeatedly uses threats, intimidation or aggression to obtain objects, activities, or social gain from others. Bullying prevention focuses on the strategies for reducing bullying behavior and teaching students to identify and respond effectively to the bullying and harmful behavior of others at their developmental level. The Dodge City Public Schools are committed to the prevention of bullying in our schools through educating both students and teachers about this topic.
