Proposed conduct code in Chicago gets tough on bullying

June 26, 2012
Staff, students would be required to report any bullying incident

From The Chicago Sun-Times: School staff and students in Chicago Public Schools who see a child bullying another would be required to report it, and accusations of such behavior would have to be investigated within 10 school days under a proposed Student Code of Conduct. In addition, principals would have to keep working with all parties until “the situation is resolved,’’ including until “the target reports feeling safe and is interacting civilly with the perpetrator.” The proposal up for a School Board vote this week.
