Anti-Bullying Bill Clears Iowa House Education Committee

By on March 9, 2013

THE IOWA HOUSE EDUCATION COMMITTEE APPROVED A BILL LATE THURSDAY CONCERNING ANTI-BULLYING MEASURES…

 

THE LEGISLATION WOULD MAKE IT CLEAR THAT SCHOOL OFFICIALS HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DISCIPLINE AND EVEN EXPEL STUDENTS FOR USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO BULLY OR HARASS OTHER STUDENTS.

 

THE ANTI-BULLYING LEGISLATION, WHICH HAS REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR TERRY BRANSTAD’S BACKING, CLEARED THE ED COMMITTEE BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. THE FULL IOWA HOUSE CAN NOW DEBATE THE BILL THANKS TO THURSDAY’S VOTE.
