Standing Up For Kids Injured by Bullying or Inadequate Supervision in Arizona Schools
In Arizona, children have the legal right to be safe at school. Bullying and harassment simply cannot be tolerated by teachers, principals or other school officials. In addition, schools have an obligation to protect students from injury and supervise them during all school activities. No matter the situation, all students deserve to learn in a non-hostile and safe environment.
Bullying at school can interfere with a victim's ability to learn. It can also result in severe emotional distress, depression, and even suicide. Arizona has sought to combat bullying by enacting "anti-bullying" laws designed to protect children from the devastating consequences of continued harassment and physical abuse.
Has your child been harmed on the playground? Was he bullied during class or on the school bus? Has the school failed to protect your child from harassment based on sex, race or disability? Was your child injured during a school activity because of inadequate supervision?
