| CA | Signed into law 09/2012 | P-12 | From bill summary: Authorizes a superintendent or principal to use alternatives to suspension or expulsion that are age appropriate and designed to address and correct the pupil's specific misbehavior. Authorizes a district to document the other means of correction used before a student is suspended (existing law requires the imposition of suspension only when other means of correction fail to bring about proper conduct) and places that documentation in the pupil's record. Specifies that other means of correction include, but are not limited to, among other things, a positive behavior support approach with tiered interventions that
occur during the school day on campus, a conference between school personnel, the pupil's parent or guardian, and the pupil, participation in a restorative justice program, and after-school programs that address specific behavioral issues or expose pupils to positive activities and behaviors.
Incorporates additional changes to Section 48900 of the Education Code proposed by AB 2242 (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_2201-2250/ab_2242_bill_20120911_enrolled.pdf) that would become
operative if this bill and AB 2242 are enacted, and this bill is enacted last. Also incorporates changes to that section proposed by AB 1732 (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1701-1750/ab_1732_bill_20120723_chaptered.pdf), relating to bullying of pupils, which has been chaptered. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1701-1750/ab_1729_bill_20120921_chaptered.pdf

| OH | Signed into law 02/2012 | P-12 | Enacts the Jessica Logan Act. Amends anti-bullying law to prohibit bullying via an electronic act. Requires local boards to adopt anti-bullying policies that prohibit harassment, intimidation or bullying on a school bus, and that expressly provide for the possibility of student suspension for an electronic act of harassment, intimidation or bullying. Requires local policies to (1) provide protection for persons other than a victim after a report of bullying, including a means of reporting a bullying act anonymously, and (2) prohibit students from making false reports of bullying and provide a disciplinary procedure for students found to have made a false report of bullying. Requires local anti-bullying policy and an explanation of the seriousness of bullying by electronic means to be made available to district students and their custodial parents or guardians. Requires, subject to state or federal appropriation, annual age-appropriate instruction for all students on local anti-bullying policy, including a written or verbal discussion of the consequences for violations of the policy. Requires a written statement describing the local anti-bullying policy and the consequences for violations of the policy to be sent annually to all custodial parents/guardians. Requires training on local anti-bullying to be incorporated into mandated in-service training. Requires the state board to update its model policy to prohibit harassment, intimidation or bullying to include harassment, intimidation or bullying by
electronic means. Pages 1-4 and 7 of 9: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/BillText129/129_HB_116_EN_N.pdf
