This policy also applies to any student whose conduct at <br />any time constitutes bullying that interferes with or obstructs the mission or <br />operations of the school district or the safety or welfare of the student, other <br />students, or employees. <br /> <br />The school district cannot monitor the activities of students at all times and <br />eliminate all incidents of bullying between students, particularly when students <br />are not under the direct supervision of school personnel.
