Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act (New Jersey)

The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act, enacted in New Jersey in 2011, aims to combat bullying in schools. It sets clear policies for schools to follow in addressing and preventing bullying, including procedures for reporting incidents and notifying parents. Schools are required to create a safe and supportive environment for all students, with specific training for staff on recognizing and handling bullying. The law also emphasizes the importance of students' mental health and well-being, ensuring that communities work together to foster respect and inclusion in schools.
