Bullying, Hate, & Bias Management Response

This online reporting platform is a safe space for Birmingham Public Schools students to document bullying, hate and bias-related incidents within our schools or at school-related activities. The district firmly believes that bullying, hatred and bias have no place anywhere, including Birmingham Public Schools. Our primary objective is to ensure all students feel emotionally and physically safe.
