SCH CD-BULLYING ACCOUNTABILITY

Summary

The bill adds new rules to Illinois’ School Code that set specific responses for bullying incidents, ranging from hearings and restorative‑justice programs to community service and counseling, depending on the offense’s severity. It also obligates parents to attend hearings, pay fees, and complete education sessions, while providing victims with counseling and monitoring. The State Board of Education must report yearly statistics on bullying and audit schools using restorative programs.
