RESPECT FOR ALL: Fostering anti-bullying practices
The NYC Department of Education’s system-wide response to bullying and harassment.

Each student and staff member brings to our public school community the richness of our city’s cultural diversity and the desire for respect. It is the policy of the Department to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment that is free from harassment, intimidation and/or bullying and from discrimination on account of actual or perceived race, color, citizenship/immigration status, religion, creed, national origin, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation or weight. (Chancellor's Regulation A-832)

It is the policy of the DOE to provide equal employment opportunities without regard to actual or perceived race, color, religion, age, creed, ethnicity, national origin, alienage, citizenship status, disability, sexual orientation, gender or weight. It is also the policy of the DOE to maintain a workplace environment free of harassment based on any of these grounds, including sexual harassment. Accordingly, it is a violation of this policy for any DOE employee to discriminate against or create a hostile school environment for a student by conduct and/or verbal or written acts on school property, or at a school function based on any of the above noted grounds. (Chancellor's Regulation A-830)

We are committed to promoting respect for diversity among students and between students and staff, so that all of our students feel valued, safe, and supported. Any student who believes that he or she has been the victim of bias bullying by another student should report the incident to the Respect For All Liaison in the school verbally or in writing.

We look forward to a productive school year as we work together to promote Respect For All.
