Pasco County Schools supports having a safe, harassment free environment for students and staff. Bullying is a problem that we all should be concerned about because it can seriously affect the emotional, physical, and academic well being of students and can contribute to a negative climate in schools. Nationwide, 30% of 6th through 10th grade students had been involved in bullying incidents. Similar prevalence rates can be found in the state of Florida. Bullying is aggressive, unwanted, and unprovoked behavior that is intentional, involves an imbalance of power or strength, and is typically repeated over time.
