Question:

What should I do if my child is being unfairly targeted by school staff?

Answer:

If your child is being unfairly targeted by school staff, Maryland school law requires that there are standard procedures for reporting acts of bullying, harassment, or intimidation. This includes a chain of command in the reporting process. The school must provide notice of the incident to you as the parent of the alleged victim within 3 business days after the incident is reported. Additionally, there should be model procedures for the prompt investigation of such incidents and information about support services available to your child and others involved. If you believe your child is being unfairly targeted, you can follow these procedures to address the situation.
