Modifies minimum requirements for school district policies prohibiting harassment, intimidation or bullying.

This bill (A 346) requires New Jersey school districts to adopt policies prohibiting harassment, intimidation, or bullying that include specific minimum components. The policies must define prohibited behavior using existing state standards, outline expected student conduct, detail tiered consequences (starting with counseling for first offenses and requiring individual intervention plans for third offenses), and establish clear reporting procedures allowing anonymous reports but prohibiting disciplinary action based solely on anonymous tips. School districts must investigate incidents within 10 school days and follow strict timelines for reporting to principals and superintendents. The bill directly affects all public school districts, students, and school staff by mandating standardized approaches to addressing bullying behavior.
