District reports NJDOE anti‑bullying self‑assessment scores; district meets statutory requirements
Summary
District staff presented the NJDOE Anti‑Bullying Bill of Rights 2024–25 self‑assessment: Doyle School 64, intermediate school 61, junior‑senior high 62; the presenter said the district average of 62 meets the Act's requirements.
A district staff presenter summarized the Wood‑Ridge School District’s NJDOE Anti‑Bullying Bill of Rights self‑assessment for the 2024–25 school year, reporting school‑level scores and the district average.
The presenter said the assessment covers eight core elements including HIB (harassment, intimidation and bullying) policies, incident reporting and investigations, staff training and curriculum; each element is rated on a 0–3 proficiency scale with a maximum total of 78 points.
The final scores announced were: Doyle School 64 points, the intermediate school 61 points, and the junior‑senior high school 62 points. The presenter stated that a district average of 62 "indicates that the Woodridge School District has met all requirements of the Anti‑Bullying Bill of Rights Act for the 2024–25 school year." The district said the results are posted on both the district and school websites.
Why it matters: the assessment documents the district’s compliance with state anti‑bullying law and outlines training, reporting and procedural practices intended to prevent and respond to HIB incidents. The board affirmed receipt of the self‑assessment and moved on to administrative reports and action items.
