An act relating to the Title 16 definition of harassment

This bill (H.808) modifies how harassment is evaluated under Vermont's Title 16 legal code. It specifically requires school districts to consider factors beyond student performance when determining the purpose or effect of harassment incidents. The bill directly affects school districts and their compliance with anti-harassment policies in educational settings. It changes the evaluation criteria for harassment cases by expanding the factors considered, moving away from student performance as the sole metric. The bill does not alter the definition of harassment itself but changes how its impact is assessed.
