Report Incidents of Bias & Hate
We are committed to maintaining a safe learning environment in Bloomfield Hills Schools. Students and families are encouraged to please report incidents of bias and hate using our reporting tool. The district has dedicated support staff prepared to assist with this tool and support individuals who report an incident.
What should I report? Please report any incident of written, verbal, physical, and psychological behavior that is not conducive to a safe learning environment and is motivated or is perceived by the victim or victims to be motivated by race, ethnicity, religion, age, national origin, sex, ability, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status or language. Incidents may be reported by a student or, if the student is too young to complete the form, by a parent or guardian.
This tool is not meant to replace OK2SAY for incidents that require immediate attention or are life-threatening. Anyone can report a tip on criminal activities or potential harm directed at students, school employees, or schools through OK2SAY link above.
