If you believe you, or someone else, has been the target of harassment, bullying, cyber-bullying and/or discrimination, please contact the Dignity Act Coordinator at your child’s center. All complaints will be treated in a confidential manner. Anonymous reports may limit the district's ability to respond to the complaint.
