What this bill would do

This bill is called the Safe Schools Improvement Act and focuses on addressing and preventing student bullying and harassment in public schools. It requires states that receive certain grants to make sure local educational agencies set up clear anti-bullying policies. These policies must explicitly prohibit bullying and harassment based on specific traits like race, disability, religion, and sexual orientation, among others. Schools are also required to provide annual notices, set up grievance procedures for complaints, and collect data on the frequency of these incidents. Finally, states must report this information biennially to the Secretary of Education, who will then report findings back to Congress and the President.
