If your school or school system hasn’t yet adopted its own policy to address bullying of protected groups it may be because they are leaning on the state’s mandates.
Do Maine anti-bullying laws and regulations include protections for specific groups?
Yes. Maine state law prohibits bullying based on a student’s actual or perceived characteristics including race, color, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin, physical or mental disability or sexual orientation, or bullying based on a student’s association with a person with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics, or any other distinguishing characteristics.
Maine schools that receive federal funding are required by federal law to address discrimination based on certain personal characteristics. Find out when bullying may be a civil rights violation.
