The STOP Bullying Act proposes to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 by establishing a new federal grant program. This program would provide funding to states to create and implement anti-bullying task forces specifically designed to study, address, and reduce bullying in elementary and secondary schools. Each state task force would conduct a comprehensive study on bullying, examining local educational agency policies, current education efforts for various stakeholders, and incidents of student violence and self-harm resulting from bullying. These task forces must comprise diverse members, including teachers, administrators, parents, students, counselors, psychologists, and representatives supporting marginalized student groups. Within one year of completing their study, each task force must submit a final report to both state and federal education officials, detailing their findings, conclusions, and providing specific recommendations for legislative or administrative actions and best practices for bullying prevention and intervention. All final reports are mandated to be made publicly available to ensure transparency and widespread access to their insights.
