Bullying feature in today's NYT; TN working on bullying laws

The Tennessee Legislature is currently considering two bills related to bullying. SB2561/HB2894 would require local school districts to notify the Commissioner of Education of any policy changes to their bullying policies. And SB0781/HB0583 deals with death threats against school personnel and students.
