Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires the Department of Public Instruction to develop a model
school policy on bullying by pupils. Under current law, DPI's model policy must
contain certain components, including a procedure for investigating reports of
bullying that requires notifying the parent or guardian of each pupil involved in a
bullying incident. This bill requires that the parent or guardian of each pupil
involved in the bullying incident be notified within 48 hours of the incident being
reported to a school district employee.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
