It's not state law that is in question, IMO, it's their defining the incident as bullying. Did T seek Page out, or did Page seek T out? If it's the former, and then there was an altercation I think it's ridiculous to call it bullying (and I think you have a right to complain and challenge their ruling of the incident). Had Page sought T out, then (whether or not I wonder what the bloody hell the adults were doing to let their interaction occur at all, if this is their stance) I can see how they might try to give it a bullying label as a repeat incident after both parties were (assuming both kids WERE told to stay away, and if T wasn't, I think you, again, have grounds to complain) told under no uncertain terms to avoid one another.

This isn't a case of 'our hands are tied, poor us' for the school, in other words - especially when dealing with kids at this age.
