The Maryland State Department of Education is adapting its
rules and regulations to reflect modern technology and the growing issue of
cyber-bullying within schools.
Public school systems in Maryland are now
required to report any incidences of cyber-bullying to the department after the
2013 passing of Grace’s Law. The law is named after a local high school student
who ended her own life as the result of cyber-bullying on social media
websites. Efforts are also being made to bring awareness to the issue of dating
violence in the school system in addition to the issue of cyber-bullying.
