H 349 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

EDUCATION – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding inappropriate online behavior by students and to prescribe a process for student discipline by the school district or public charter school.

H 349 requires Idaho school districts and public charter schools to address student online harassment by establishing a clear process for reporting and disciplining inappropriate online behavior directed at school employees or specific school community members (like students, parents, or volunteers). The bill defines "inappropriate online behavior" as harassment, threats, bullying, or discriminatory content via internet, mobile devices, or social media, whether occurring during or outside school hours. Schools must investigate reports, notify parents, and impose proportional discipline - including warnings, behavior programs, suspensions, or expulsion - after confirming the behavior. The law does not prevent affected individuals from pursuing other legal remedies.
