(Columbia-AP) February 1,
2006 - A House subcommittee approved a bill Wednesday
defining what it means to be a bully and setting
statewide standards for punishment.
The bill, already passed by the Senate, prohibits
students from harassing, intimidating or bullying other
students and requires school personnel to report the
behavior.
Each local school district would be required to set
its own disciplinary measures, based on recommendations
from the state Board of Education.
The bill now moves to the full House Education and
Public Works Committee.
