Public School Board Supports new anti-bullying legislation

New, tougher anti-bullying legislation is getting the thumbs up from at least one local school board.

Jack McMaster is the director of education of the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board and says the province's legislation really mirrors the work they have been doing.

The bill proposes tougher consequences, including expulsion, for bullying and hate-motivated actions.
