Summary

Existing law prohibits the suspension, or recommendation for expulsion, of a pupil from school unless the school district superintendent or the school principal determines that the pupil has committed any of various specified acts, including, but not limited to, bullying. Existing law defines bullying as any severe or pervasive physical or verbal act or conduct, including communications made in writing or by means of an electronic act, which includes, among other things, a post on a social network Internet Web site, and including one or more acts, as specified, committed by a pupil or group of pupils, directed toward one or more pupils that has or can be reasonably predicted to have one or more specified effects. This bill would identify specific conduct that would constitute a post on a social network Internet Web site, including posting to or creating a burn page, as defined, creating a credible impersonation of a pupil, as defined and as specified, and creating a false profile, as defined and as specified. The bill also would provide that an electronic act does not constitute pervasive conduct solely on the basis that it has been transmitted on the Internet or is currently posted on the Internet.
