The Oklahoma City Public Schools Board of Education believes that the schools’ primary goal is to provide a safe environment for learning for all members of the school community. Students are expected to practice academic and personal integrity as they respect the rights of others, are responsible for promoting behavior to support a safe school, free of threatening, intimidating, or harassing behavior as well as behavior that is harmful to themselves, other persons, or property.
The District expects adults and students to relate in a manner that is respectful, responsible, and safe. When adults teach and model these choices, the result is a positive environment for teaching, studying, and learning.
