New York S06610 amends the education law to strengthen policies and procedures for preventing and reporting acts of harassment at schools. The bill mandates that school districts create anti-harassment policies and guidelines, which must include penalties for violations, specify harassment as a basis for disciplining students, and require a transfer for harassed students. Schools must post these policies in prominent places and provide translated copies in the ten most common languages spoken by students' parents or guardians.
