Requires school safety teams to include coaches; broadens definition of "harassment, intimidation or bullying" to include hazing; requires coaches and certain advisors to complete training on anti-bullying policy.

This New Jersey bill (A 373) requires school safety teams to include coaches and broadens the definition of "harassment, intimidation, or bullying" to explicitly include hazing behavior. It directly affects public schools, coaches of athletic programs, and advisors of extracurricular activities by mandating they complete annual anti-bullying training focused on protected characteristics like race, gender, and disability. Key provisions include adding coaches to school safety teams (which must meet twice yearly), expanding bullying definitions to cover hazing, and requiring districts to train staff on preventing bullying based on protected categories. The bill also mandates schools to incorporate anti-bullying policies into staff training and provide accessible policy information to relevant school personnel.
