Franklin Lakes Board affirms founded HIB finding for Investigation No. 268120
Summary
The board voted to affirm the superintendent's finding of a founded harassment, intimidation or bullying (HIB) offense in Investigation No. 268120; the recorded consent-vote shows five in favor, one opposed and one abstention.
At its Sept. 3 meeting the Franklin Lakes Board of Education affirmed the superintendent’s finding that a Harassment, Intimidation or Bullying (HIB) offense occurred in Investigation No. 268120.
The resolution (1293) was approved as part of the consent agenda and recorded in the minutes: five board members voted in favor, one voted no and one abstained. The board directed the administration to transmit a copy of the decision to the affected parties "forthwith," per the resolution language.
The minutes also record the board’s affirmations of two other HIB-related resolutions: Resolutions 1291 and 1292 affirmed the superintendent’s findings of no HIB offense for Investigations Nos. 267482 and 267307, respectively, with the board directing that copies be transmitted to affected parties.
Why it matters: affirmation of a founded HIB finding initiates required notification steps to affected parties and is part of the district’s disciplinary and anti-bullying procedures. The minutes show the board followed the superintendent’s recommendations and recorded the roll-call outcomes.
Next steps: the board directed the School Administration to notify affected parties; the minutes do not record additional sanctions, remediation plans or appeals; those details, if any, are not specified in the meeting minutes.
