47	47	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that youth participating in educational and recreational activities have the right to be free from bullying. Bullying, and the related problems of harassment and retaliation, inhibit a young person's ability to learn and an educational or recreational activity provider's ability to teach students in a safe environment. In contrast, a safe and civil environment helps youth to learn and thrive. The legislature further finds that although students are protected by school staff while on school grounds and in other areas within a school's jurisdiction, many students are still being bullied and assaulted by other students off school grounds during non-school hours or outside of school sanctioned activities. Additionally, there are instances of vandalism and theft being conducted by students off campus. By expanding a school's jurisdiction to areas located a quarter-mile radius from its campus, school administrators and staff will be able to intervene and discipline students for actions conducted against other students in situations that would have previously occurred outside their jurisdiction. The purpose of this Act is to require the board of education to adopt rules to expand the jurisdiction of all public schools under the purview of the department of education to include a quarter-mile radius surrounding each public school. SECTION 2. No later than , the board of education shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to expand the jurisdiction of all public schools under the purview of the department of education to include a quarter-mile radius surrounding each public school. SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval. INTRODUCED BY: _____________________________
