A 3920 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Office of School Climate in DOE and directs School Climate State Coordinator to develop central repository of resources for parents on harassment, intimidation, and bullying in schools.

This bill (A3920) establishes the Office of School Climate within New Jersey's Department of Education, led by a School Climate State Coordinator. It directly affects parents and guardians of public school students by requiring the Coordinator to create a central online resource repository with a multilingual tutorial covering harassment, intimidation, and bullying prevention, identification, and reporting procedures. The tutorial must be available in languages common to students' homes. The bill also mandates legislative funding for this office and aligns with recommendations from the New Jersey Anti-Bullying Task Force report.
