Bullying oversight committees and ombudsman.

Summary

The bill creates a bullying ombudsman within Indiana’s Department of Education to receive and track parent complaints, and it forces every school corporation to set up a bullying oversight committee unless staffing limits apply. Parents can file complaints with the committee, request a hearing before the school board, and view video evidence. The Department must provide support, post contact information, and supply training guidelines for the committees.
