Internet Safety & Cyberbullying Resources

Internet Safety & Cyberbullying Resources

Senate File 61 was signed into Iowa Law on March 5, 2007. By September 1, 2007, this law will require board policy addressing harassment or bullying prevention and will require goals, programs, training, and other initiatives. This includes harassment or bullying by “electronic” means. For more information go to http://www.legis.state.ia.us/
