Hearing On Bullying Bill — The House Education Committee, last week, recently held a hearing on legislation aimed at protecting students who are the targets of school bullies reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).
House Bill 156, the Pennsylvania Safe Schools (PASS) Act, would require all teachers to undergo a bullying prevention training program every five years and also require acts of bullying be reported to the state.
Pennsylvania is currently ranked by the U.S. Department of Education as having one of the most insufficient anti-bullying laws in the nation.
