Safe Schools Improvement Act

This bill requires states to make their local school districts create policies that prevent and stop bullying and harassment of students in elementary and secondary schools. The policies must specifically prohibit bullying based on race, color, national origin, disability, religion, or sex, which includes sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics. School districts must tell students, parents, and teachers about these rules every year, provide ways for students and parents to report problems, and share public data about how often bullying happens in their schools. The Department of Education must evaluate these anti-bullying programs every two years, and the National Center for Education Statistics must collect information from states about how often this prohibited conduct occurs.
