Bullying, Bias and Safety Reporting
Natick Public Schools is committed to maintaining safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environments for all students. Massachusetts law, including the Massachusetts Anti-Bullying Law (G.L. c. 71, § 37O) and the Student Anti-Discrimination Act (G.L. c. 76, § 5), requires schools to respond promptly to reports involving bullying, harassment, discrimination, bias-based conduct, hate incidents, retaliation, threats, and other concerns impacting student safety or access to learning. If you experience, witness, or become aware of a concern, promptly seek support from a trusted adult such as a teacher, counselor, administrator, or parent/caregiver, and submit a report using one of the reporting forms below. Reports may be submitted by students, families, staff, or community members and will be reviewed and addressed in a timely manner consistent with district policy and applicable law.
