Board approves submission of Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights self-assessment after district reports fewer confirmed incidents
Summary
The board voted to approve submission of the New Jersey Department of Education self-assessment for the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act after staff reported a high self-assessment score districtwide and a decline in confirmed incidents year over year.
Mrs. DeMeo presented the district's self-assessment under the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act and described the districtwide process for HIB (harassment, intimidation and bullying) prevention and response. She said the district scored 77 out of 78 on the self-assessment and outlined the role of school safety and climate teams, assigned anti-bullying specialists and reporting procedures.
Following the presentation, the board approved a resolution to submit the New Jersey Department of Education school self-assessment. A roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript and the motion carried. The superintendent and staff noted the district has seen a reduction in confirmed incidents and emphasized continued emphasis on prevention, training and data review.
