Federal and New Jersey Laws Against Discrimination overlap with the New Jersey Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act. Students who belong to a protected class are at a higher risk of being the target of harassment, intimidation, and bullying.
As members of a protected class, acts of harassment, intimidation, and bullying against these students may qualify as a violation of their civil rights, thus opening the district to potentially damaging litigation and discipline from the United States and New Jersey Departments of Education.
This training is a must for all school administrators, school counselors, child study team members, affirmative action coordinators, and anti-bullying staff.
This training includes the following:
- Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act and Americans with Disabilities Act
