Introduced·2/25/25

Stop Sexual Harassment in K–12 Act aims to combat sex-based harassment in schools.

The Stop Sexual Harassment in K–12 Act mandates the development of a sex-based harassment survey for elementary and secondary school students and staff. The survey, conducted anonymously, will assess instances of harassment and be administered by individuals not in close contact with students. The Act also authorizes grants to local educational agencies for training staff on preventing and responding to sex-based harassment and assault. Additionally, it requires local educational agencies to ensure compliance with Title IX policies and to designate Title IX Coordinators.
