Bullying Prevention & Reporting
At Hitchcock ISD, every student deserves to feel safe, supported, and seen. We take bullying seriously and are committed to fostering a positive school climate where all students can thrive.
Bullying, harassment, intimidation, and retaliation go against our values—and they have no place in our schools. If you or someone you know is experiencing bullying, please let us know.
What Is Bullying?
Bullying is more than just mean behavior—it’s repeated, targeted behavior intended to cause harm. It can be:
- Verbal (name-calling, threats)
- Physical (hitting, pushing)
- Social (exclusion, rumors)
- Cyberbullying (online threats, spreading harmful content)
Under Texas law (TEC §37.0832), bullying is defined as behavior that:
- Exploits a power imbalance, and
- Interferes with a student’s education, mental or physical health, or school environment
