Stand Up To Bullying
On Thursday, April 29th, the State House Judiciary Committee will be considering “Matt’s Safe School Law,” (HB 4580) a bill that will protect our children from bullies in our schools.
The title of the bill, “Matt’s Safe School Law” is in memory of 14-year old Matt Epling, an East Lansing eighth-grader who tragically took his own life in 2002 after a severe hazing incident.
We can never let this happen again.
HB 4580 would require schools to adopt and implement a policy prohibiting bullying or harassment at and encourage schools to include it in the policy provisions concerning education, parental involvement, reporting, investigating and intervention.
Join the Coalition for Progress, the Michigan State Police, the Michigan Association of School Boards, the ACLU and others in supporting HB 4580.
