Bias Incident Reporting
The WGSD aims for a culture of dignity and wants to see all employees flourish in a culturally affirming environment and for all students to grow emotionally, academically, and socially; therefore we need to be aware of incidents that may hinder this growth. The Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will work with administrators to document and address the incidents, provide resources and support to students who experienced the bias; collect and share aggregate data while maintaining confidentiality, monitor the campus culture, and continue to educate students on bias issues.
What to Report
We encourage you to report any incidents that negatively impact our campus culture, especially those that are biased-related. The report should reference bias incidents - example racism, bias, sexism, microaggressions, etc. You may report on an incident that was done to you or to someone else. While bias incidents sometimes target specific individuals, they can also violate and offend an entire group or community. Thus, you may also report bias incidents such as defaced fliers, graffiti that includes offensive language, etc.
Who Should Report
The WGSD Bias Incident Reporting is for current students and staff of the Webster Grove School District.

Follow-Up
If you make an anonymous report, then you will not receive any updated information. Your report will be documented and we will follow the proper procedures.
If you make a report and provide your name and contact information, then we will document your report and contact you within 24-48 hours. If your report is deemed urgent relating to your safety, then you will be contacted immediately. We believe in partnerships with families, thus your parents/guardians will also be notified.
Students - If the report results in a disciplinary action or educational/restorative practices, then it will be determined by the school administration. Employees - If the report includes an employee, then it will be referred to Human Resources and appropriate administrator to begin the process.
All reports will be reviewed on a monthly basis to determine if there is a need for additional professional development, workshops for students, or patterns of concern are emerging.
