Weehawken board affirms several HIB findings after closed executive caucus
Summary
Following a closed executive caucus, the Weehawken Board of Education accepted the superintendent's Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying (HIB) determinations for multiple incidents across district schools and recorded no requests for hearings.
At its March 10 meeting the Weehawken Board of Education reported and accepted HIB determinations for incidents investigated by the district HIB specialist and affirmed the superintendent's written decisions.
The minutes list incidents by school and date and indicate whether the HIB specialist found that the accused student committed the HIB action (#2) or did not (#1). The entries recorded in the minutes include: WHS 01/02/25 (#2); WHS 01/13/25 (#1); DWS 01/30/25 (#1); DWS 02/05/25 (#1); DWS 02/06/25 (#2); WHS 02/06/25 (#1); TRS 01/22/25 (#2). The board stated parents of both targeted and accused students were notified and that no parent had requested a hearing before the board.
The board adopted a resolution to move into Executive Caucus at 7:40 p.m. to discuss personnel, collective bargaining and litigation matters; the minutes note HIBs were discussed during the closed session. The board returned to open session at 8:34 p.m. and then adjourned. The minutes record the board's acceptance of the superintendent's HIB report and that there were no pending items.
The minutes do not provide details about corrective discipline, interventions for students involved, or other remedial steps beyond the board's written decisions and notification to parents.
