U.S. ED HIGHLIGHTS SUCCESSFUL STATE ANTI-BULLYING POLICIES
On December 16, 2010, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan released a technical assistance memo that outlines key components of bullying laws and policies in 29 states. The memo was provided in response to a number of recent bullying-related suicides that prompted a surge in requests for anti-bullying legislation and assistance.
The memo also describes ongoing work by the U.S. Department of Education and partners to prevent bullying in schools. Information may be used as a reference for states and communities currently developing anti-bullying legislation.
"We can stop [bullying] now," said Duncan, "Strong anti-bullying policies instill a climate that this behavior will not be tolerated."
