TEEN DATING VIOLENCE

Wayland Public Schools officials will intervene in teen dating violence among Wayland students through administrative procedures on file in the administrative offices of all schools in the district. These include a reporting procedure, an investigation procedure, possible disciplinary actions for incidents on school grounds, at school related events or as required through the courts, and also include provision of support services for the victim.

Efforts will be made to maintain maximum confidentiality for all students involved. Peer mediation is not appropriate for these situations. All school staff members are required to comply with statutory reporting obligations for suspected physical abuse, and to report instances of violations of existing restraining order and other criminal violations to local police.
