A: One option is to file a complaint with the Nevada Department of Education. The department has a responsibility to investigate all complaints of bullying and to take steps to address the problem. Suppose the department finds that the school has not adequately addressed the bullying. In that case, it may order the school to take specific actions, such as developing a bullying prevention plan or counseling the victim and the bully.
