## Summary

**fund State anti-bullying task forces** — This bill would create a federal grant program to fund State task forces that study, address, and reduce bullying in K‑12 schools. The program requires statewide studies, education for teachers, parents, and students, and a public final report with findings and recommendations. - Students: Would require a State-wide study of bullying, including incidents of student violence and self-harm, and highlights nearly 1 in 5 K‑12 students being bullied (over 10 million students). This study must pay attention to higher rates among marginalized groups such as Jewish, Sikh, LGBTQ+ students, and youth with developmental disabilities. - Families and caregivers: Grant funds must support education for parents and students and include guidance on recognizing early warning signs and discussing bullying with children. - Educators and school staff: Task forces must include teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, and psychologists and produce best practices for educating staff to recognize and reduce bullying. - State agencies and community groups: Grants go to every State to set up a task force chaired by the State Chief Education Officer and include representatives from legal, paraprofessional, and community organizations that support LGBTQ+ students. Each State must publish a final report with recommendations for legislation or administrative actions.
