Sometimes, yes. Schools are not automatically responsible for every act of bullying, but they do have a duty to protect students once they know about a problem.
If a school:
- Ignores repeated complaints
- Fails to follow its own anti bullying policies
- Allows harassment to escalate into harm
then liability may come into play.
Under federal laws like Title IX and Michigan civil rights protections, schools must act when bullying is tied to protected characteristics. When they do nothing, the consequences can be serious and preventable.
