RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – A Senate bill that directs how North Carolina school districts should write anti-bullying rules is heading to the House.
Senators voted 26-22 on Wednesday to support the legislation. The chamber gave initial approval Tuesday by a similar, close vote after lengthy debate. There was no debate Wednesday.
The measure would require districts set policies that list perceived characteristics of a person susceptible to bullying. Bill supporters said the list is needed so districts know what type of bullying is unacceptable.
