A new bill, sponsored by state Representative John Rogers and backed by the Anti-Defamation League requires school districts to document all cases of harassment, discrimination, intimidation, and bullying (including cyber bullying) and report the consequences to the state.
The bill also calls for Massachusetts to develop a model policy that addresses traditional bullying and cyber-bullying.
