Many New Jersey schools have been prepping for the new Jan. 6 anti-bullying legislation by revising policies, training staff, and/or appointing anti-bullying supervisors.

Lewis Goldstein, assistant superintendent for Princeton Regional Schools, states, “We are in the process of revising our district harassment, intimidation and bullying policy to comply with the requirements of the new law for Sept. 1 as well as taking the appropriate steps to inform parents of the new policy and law.”
Superintendent Victoria Kniewel for West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional Schools states, “All administrators have been trained in the new policy at this point, and all staff will be trained during year.”
