Relates to preventing and reporting acts of harassment at schools
This bill requires all schools to create and enforce anti-harassment policies with specific provisions. It mandates schools to provide safety transfers for students who experience harassment, apply disciplinary measures for harassers, and post policies in the ten most common languages spoken in the district. Schools must train staff and students on preventing harassment, and principals must ensure policies are distributed to all staff, students, and parents. The bill also creates annual public reporting requirements, including yearly statistics on harassment incidents and safety transfers, published on the education department’s website.
