The schools need to adopt a MENTOR program. The bill is weak on implementation, and with their limited resources, the schools will likely give it more lip service than action.
Studies show that when it comes to these things, students are much more influenced by their peers than adults. My son, a bright kid with a great sense of humor, and Asperger's Syndrome, has been completely isolated - past the point of breakdown. He will suffer consequences for the rest of his life.
