Student bullying and abusive behavior.

Summary

The bill expands Indiana’s legal definition of bullying and mandates every public and charter school to document all bullying and abusive behavior, develop targeted interventions, and submit an annual report to the state education department, board, and legislative council. Parents or emancipated students may file a grievance if a school does not meet the tracking requirements. The state board would review the reports and issue recommendations, and the Department of Child Services could share unredacted reports with a school liaison in certain cases.
