SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WCIA) - A new law signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker earlier this month is trying to curb bullying at Illinois schools. One part of the law requires schools to report bullying incidents to parents within 24 hours of the school learning about it. Rep.

The state's anti-bullying law now includes pregnant and parenting, socioeconomic status, academic status, physical appearance and homelessness as protected categories. “Our students deserve policies around cyberbul...
