1 Indicates laws that actually
include the terms “cyberbullying” or
“cyber-bullying.” This is compared to
states that simply refer to electronic harassment
or bullying using electronic means. See actual law
for more details.
2 Federal case law allows
schools to discipline students for off-campus
behavior that results in a substantial disruption
of the learning environment at school. These states
have simply codified that standard in state
statute.
