A bill to address and take action to prevent bullying and harassment of students.

AI Summary

This bill, the Safe Schools Improvement Act, aims to address and prevent bullying and harassment of students in public elementary and secondary schools. It requires states receiving grants under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to establish policies that prohibit conduct, including bullying and harassment, that limits a student's ability to participate in or benefit from school activities or creates a hostile educational environment. The policies must include prohibitions on bullying or harassment based on a student's actual or perceived race, color, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics), disability, or religion, as well as any other distinguishing characteristics. The bill also mandates that schools collect and publicly report data on incidents of the prohibited conduct, and requires the Secretary of Education to conduct biennial evaluations of anti-bullying and harassment programs and policies.
