Comments: Although the word "Bullying" is never mentioned in
this law, it is clearly an anti bullying law. "Harassment" and "Intimidation"
is included in the definition of bullying - but no clear definition of
bullying is included in this law. Still, one-half point, (http://www.bullypolice.org/grade.html),
is given for some excellent language in Sec. 8. I especially liked,
(c)
All persons in public schools are entitled to maintain their own beliefs
and to respectfully disagree without resorting to violence, harassment
or intimidation:... Very good!!!
Covers point 2, 1/2 point for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, & 11 = 8 1/2
