Community Consolidated School District 46

Community Consolidated School District 46 serves 3700 students in grades Pre-K through 8, in seven schools across the district. Every one of these students comes to school with a different set of academic, developmental and social emotional abilities, strengths and needs. Each student has a variety of experiences navigating peer relationships as th... ey develop. The challenge of any school is to help shape that development in a positive manner. When it comes to the social/emotional development of its students, the School District takes a comprehensive approach. District 46 does not tolerate bullying behavior and takes complaints about student conduct seriously. Our approach to addressing student behavior starts at the top with the Board of Education. The Board has enacted policies prohibiting bullying, harassment and discrimination, which set forth the expectations for student behavior, as required by law. These policies can be found on our district website at www.d46.org/boe/boeother/boepolicymanual-091515.pdf. The CCSD 46 Board of Education has gone beyond the requirements of the law by adopting a Diversity Policy announcing its support for students of diverse backgrounds and abilities, and among other priorities, the creation of safe environments for learning and relationship building, and the rejection of actions of hate, intolerance, fear and disrespect. The Diversity Policy is supported by an active Diversity Committee charged with discussing issues of equity and seeking solutions to problems confronted by the school community which inhibit the development of mutual tolerance of and respect for differences. More information about the Diversity Policy, Diversity Committee, and resources for teachers and the community can be found on our website at www.d46.org/diversity.asp. The expectations of the Board of Education, as announced in its Diversity, Anti-Bullying, Anti-Harassment, Anti-Discrimination, and Student Behavior Policies are implemented at the school building level in a variety of ways.
