The Sikh Coalition is supporting the passage of the Safe Schools Improvement Act (S.986/H.R.1810). This bipartisan legislation requires school districts in states that receive Elementary and Secondary Education Act funds to adopt codes of conduct to specifically prohibit bullying and harassment, including on the basis of religion and other protective classes; it also requires that states report data on bullying and harassment to the Department of Education to better address bullying. The Safe Schools Improvement Act is a key recommendation included in WAYRF.
