HB1165

This bill requires school principals to investigate bullying complaints within three working days of receiving notice from a parent or guardian, document their findings in writing, and place those findings in the educational records of both the bullied student and the accused student. Principals must also notify the district superintendent and contact the parent or guardian to discuss the investigation results, with in-person meetings available upon request. If bullying is confirmed, the principal and parent must work together to agree on remedial actions, which can include reassigning either student to a different classroom or school within the district.
