Bullying law in Indiana: what the school must actually do

The enforceable sentences in Indiana's bullying law — deadlines where they exist, and the demand that works where they don't.

Indiana's truth table

Investigation deadline in law: none in statute.

Parent notice: By end of next school day after school learns of incident, and after investigation concludes (district rules must set these timetables).

Victim transfer: No statutory transfer right.

Retaliation for reporting: no express clause found in the bullying statute — check your district policy.
