§ 19. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that students' ability
to learn and to meet high academic standards, and a school's ability to
educate its students, are compromised by incidents of harassment
including bullying, taunting or intimidation. It is hereby declared to
be the policy of the state to afford all students in nonpublic schools
an environment free of bullying and harassment. The purpose of this
article is to foster civility in nonpublic schools and to prevent and
prohibit conduct which is inconsistent with a school's educational
mission.
