Initiatives designed to improve school safety and conditions for learning have become central to education reform efforts at the local, state, and national levels. These efforts often target the reduction and prevention of bullying, discrimination, and harassment in schools. While most states currently have some form of law or policy designed to address these issues, a great deal of variability exists among them at the state and district levels. Furthermore, those responsible for providing services (e.g., school psychologists) can easily lose track of what laws and policies they must follow. Therefore, this article provides a general description of the relationship between policy and law and how federal and state policies and laws impact local practices related to school safety.
