Schools already have te authority to do just that in some instances, child abuse for one, if a teacher suspects that a child is being abused at home, they can report it to the authorities.

This is no different to child abuse in my eyes [bullying] it is just that its being done by other kids.

The public school system needs to concern themselves only with the behavior and grade performance of students at school. They are not the moral police.
Im sure that is why they are wanting to look at this a viable option.

Im almost certain that kids who get bullied have a hell of a time at school in fact, i would go as far as saying that a lot of these bullied kids try to cut class because they are being bullied, im pretty sure that is going to have an effect on their behavior and grade performance.
