B. Investigation Once a complaint/report has been made, the applicable Campus Director or his/her designee has a duty to conduct an investigation. The investigation may include, but is not limited to, individual interviews with: (i) the person who made the report or complaint; (ii) the student who was the target of the alleged bullying, cyberbullying or retaliation; (iii) the person or persons against whom the complaint was made, and; (iv) any students, faculty, sta昀昀 or other persons who witnessed or who may otherwise have relevant information about the complaint. The interviews will be documented and will remain con昀椀dential on an otherwise legitimate need-to-know. C. Parent Noti昀椀cation The school to notify the parents of any student who is an alleged target of bullying, cyberbullying, or retaliation and the parents of any student who may have been accused of engaging in such behavior after a complaint has been made, during the course of the investigation. D. Determination, Resolution, Noti昀椀cation, and Follow-Up Following interviews and any other investigation undertaken, as the school deems appropriate, the Campus Director will determine whether and to what extent the allegation of bullying or retaliation has been substantiated. If it is determined that the allegation is substantiated as bullying or retaliation, the Campus Director will determine what disciplinary action and/or other remedial action is appropriate and how it will be implemented. In all circumstances where dismissal is considered as a disciplinary action, the Head of School will be consulted and will make the 昀椀nal determination. The goal of an investigation, and any resulting disciplinary or other remedial action that is imposed following that investigation, is to correct the situation to the extent it is reasonably possible and to take such steps as can be taken to prevent there being a repetition of the incident and to prevent the student or students targeted and others who participated in the investigation from being subject to retaliation. If appropriate, such as when a crime may have been committed or a child may have been subject to abuse or neglect of the type that is reportable under Section 51A of the Massachusetts laws, law enforcement or any appropriate government agency will be noti昀椀ed. Upon completion of the investigation, the Campus Director or designee who conducted the investigation will meet individually with the student or students who were the target of the alleged incident and the person or persons against whom the complaint was made. Parents will be informed of the results of the investigation and, where disciplinary or other corrective/remedial action is determined to be appropriate, the steps that will be taken to correct the situation. The Campus Director or designee will comply with applicable laws regarding disclosure of con昀椀dential information when informing students and parents. No disciplinary action may be taken against a person solely on the basis of an anonymous report. The Campus Director or designee who conducted the investigation, in consultation with the school counselor, may refer perpetrators, victims, and family members of such students for counseling or other services as appropriate. The Campus Director will insure that there are check-ins made with any student found to have been targeted in violation of this policy and his/her parents to inquire as to whether there have been any further incidents. The Campus Director will keep a 昀椀le on all reports of bullying, cyberbullying or retaliation, the investigation, and any actions taken in response to a 昀椀nding of bullying, cyberbullying or retaliation.
