S 3092 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires certain school districts to hold annual, multi-day program on bullying prevention and intervention.

This bill requires all New Jersey school districts serving grades 4-12 to hold an annual, multi-day bullying prevention program lasting three to five days. The program must provide age-appropriate sessions for students covering topics like cyberbullying prevention, bystander intervention, empathy, and conflict resolution, with all students required to attend sessions matching their grade level. Districts must also provide staff training on bullying prevention as part of this program, and may use the new "Bullying Prevention Fund" (created by this bill) to secure grants for implementation if resources are lacking. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner of Education withholding state aid from the district.
