FL S0268

School districts must adopt and revise bullying and harassment policies at least every 3 years, with each principal implementing the policy in an ongoing manner integrated with the school's bullying prevention and intervention program.

Bullying and harassment policies must include a procedure for receiving reports of alleged acts of bullying and harassment, including anonymous reporting options, though formal discipline cannot be based solely on anonymous reports.

Policies must contain a list of authorized programs that provide instruction to students, parents, teachers, and staff on identifying, preventing, and responding to bullying or harassment.

School districts must involve students, parents, teachers, administrators, staff, volunteers, community representatives, and local law enforcement in adopting and revising the policy.
