District staff presented the Spring 2025 NJSLA and the 2024–25 School Self-Assessment and SSDS (Student Safety Data System) report at the Oct. 28 Franklin Lakes Board of Education meeting.
Mrs. Steines presented the SSDS period 2 and HIB self-assessment overview. Mr. Maceri reported the school-level HIB counts and restraint incidents: Franklin Avenue Middle School had 1 confirmed HIB; High Mountain Road recorded 2 alleged HIB incidents and one restraint; Woodside Avenue School recorded 2 alleged HIB incidents and 22 restraints, which the presenter noted were related to specific programming. Reported HIB percentages for the 2024–25 self-assessment ranged between about 68% and 78% across buildings (FAMS 72%, Colonial Road School 71%, HMR 72%, WAS 73%). No questions followed the presentation as recorded in the minutes.
Separately, the Board approved Resolution No. 1997 authorizing submission of the School Self-Assessments for determining grades under the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act to the New Jersey Department of Education.
The presentation supplied school-by-school discipline metrics and led to formal approval of the anti-bullying self-assessment submission; the minutes do not provide additional detail on the nature of the restraints or the specific programming referenced beyond the summary provided by presenters.
