The state Education Department released a model antibullying plan yesterday to help local schools develop their own policies to protect students from being picked on.
The 14-page plan is meant as a template for local schools, which under the state’s new law against bullying must create bullying prevention plans by year’s end. The legislation was passed in May after two Massachusetts youths who faced harassment from other students committed suicide, creating pressure for lawmakers to act.
