How do I file a bias incident report?
Anyone who is a witness or a victim of a bias-related incident at Pomfret School has the opportunity to file a confidential report to Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the Dean of Students Office. These reports will be handled on a case-by-case basis with the overarching goal of supporting the well-being and safety of the individuals involved and providing resources as needed to move the community forward. The DEI Office and the Dean of Students Office will partner to discuss instances of bias involving student interactions in an effort to support mediation, education, further disciplinary consideration, or another appropriate response. Instances of bias involving student interactions may be referred to the Dean of Students Office for further disciplinary consideration; instances of bias involving adult members of the Pomfret community should be referred to the Human Resources department for investigation, documentation, and potential sanction. Bias is a Major School Rule Violation, and may be handled by the CCT, unless the Head of School determines otherwise.
