Amends the definition of bullying in § 4161 of Title 14 to include written, electronic, verbal, or physical acts that target a student, a school district or charter school volunteer, or a school district or charter school employee based on the target’s membership in any protected class under the newly created non-discrimination provision in § 136 of Title 14, or based on the target’s age. 3. Aligns the protected classes included in paragraph (b)(2)f. of § 4164 of Title 14 with the additional protected classes included in the newly created non-discrimination provision in § 136 of Title 14.
