Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive study is to examine the perspectives of parents and caregivers regarding their children’s experience with bullying in their schools and the anti-bullying policies and procedures followed by the schools. This study included 32 parents and caregivers who have a child in the 9th -12th grade within the Woodland Unified School District. Results indicate that parents and caregivers are aware that bullying affects their children’s education but unaware of the policies and procedures their children’s schools have in effect to combat the issue. While majority of the participants were aware of their children’s schools’ anti-bullying policy, 40.6% of the parents and caregivers were not aware of any anti-bullying policies of their children’s schools. Results from this study indicate the importance of continued research into the growing issue of school bullying and how crucial it is to have parents and caregivers involved and aware of the school anti-bullying policies and procedures that directly affect themselves and their children.
