Summary
The Teaneck Board of Education approved the district's Anti‑Bullying Bill of Rights self‑assessment, recorded school HIB grades and accepted the 2023–24 Student Safety Data report showing incident counts by school.
At the Sept. 17 meeting the Teaneck Board of Education approved the Teaneck Public Schools' self‑assessment required under the Anti‑Bullying Bill of Rights Act and accepted the district's 2023–24 Student Safety Data report and HIB training record.
The minutes present school‑level HIB self‑assessment grades: most listed schools show scores (for example, multiple elementary schools and Teaneck High School received scores reported as 78; the district grade is recorded as 77). The Student Safety Data appendix enumerates incidents and HIB allegations/confirmed counts by school for the 2023–24 year.
The board also approved related training programs and the district's HIB response and parent notification procedures required by N.J.S.A. 18A:37‑15(d); the resolution directs the superintendent to notify parents/guardians of involved students within five school days with information about the nature of the investigation, findings, discipline and services provided.
What happens next: The district will implement the approved Student Safety Data reporting and HIB training plan; parents of students involved in confirmed incidents will receive required notifications, the minutes say.
