Should the legislature toughen the Pupil Safety and Violence Prevention Act?
The law requires each local school board to adopt a pupil safety and violence prevention policy which addresses bullying.
Some educators, parents and students believe the law isn't strict enough.
House Bill 1523 provides a clearer definition of bullying and its impact on children, while including cyber-bullying.
The bill also includes a provision which holds schools accountable for enforcing the law.
A group of parents and students testified on behalf of stricter bullying laws Jan. 19 during a public hearing before the Education Committee in Concord.
HB 1523 is slated for an Executive Session in the Legislative Office Building on Feb. 16.
