Requires schools to report certain assaults to law enforcement.
This bill (A 2827) requires New Jersey public schools to report student-on-student assaults to police. Specifically, school employees must notify principals when a student allegedly assaults another on school property, a school bus, or at a school event; principals must then immediately report the incident to law enforcement. The bill defines "assault" as intentionally or recklessly causing bodily injury (per NJ law) and specifies "law enforcement agency" to include local police departments. It directly affects all public schools in New Jersey by mandating this reporting process for certain incidents.
