This will vary depending on the nature and extent of the bullying.  At a minimum, a school should:

• make sure that the bullied students and their families know how to report any subsequent problems

• conduct follow‐up inquiries to see if there have been any new incidents or any retaliation

• respond promptly to address continuing or new problems

Appropriate steps to stop bullying may include:

• separating the accused aggressor and the target of the bullying (without requiring the bullied student to change his or her class schedule)

• providing counseling for the target and/or the aggressor

• taking disciplinary action against the aggressor

• training for the aggressors and the larger school community
