Tennessee H.B. 301
Bullying and Cyberbullying Prevention
Requires that each LEA include a prohibition against cyber-bullying in its existing policy prohibiting harassment, intimidation or bullying (cyber-bullying includes bullying undertaken though an electronic communications device). Expands the definition of "harassment, intimidation or bullying" by including acts that take place off school property or outside a school-sponsored activity, if the act is directed at a student or students and has the effect of creating a hostile educational environment or otherwise creating a substantial disruption to the educational environment or learning process. This bill further expands the definition of "harassment, intimidation or bullying" by including acts that cause emotional distress to a student. http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/107/Bill/HB0301.pdf
