A BILL To address and take action to prevent bullying and harassment of students.
AI Summary
This bill, the Safe Schools Improvement Act of 2021, aims to address and prevent bullying and harassment of students in public elementary and secondary schools. It requires states receiving federal education grants to enact policies that prohibit conduct that limits a student's ability to participate in or benefit from school programs or creates a hostile educational environment. These policies must prohibit bullying or harassment based on a student's actual or perceived race, color, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), disability, or religion, as well as any other distinguishing characteristics. The bill also mandates schools to provide annual notice to students, parents, and staff about prohibited conduct, establish grievance procedures for complaints, and collect and publicly report data on incidents of such conduct. Additionally, the Secretary of Education is required to conduct biennial evaluations of anti-bullying and harassment programs and policies and submit reports to the President and Congress.
