The Community Relations Advisory Board (CRAB) is moving ahead with plans to sponsor an awareness-raising campaign on the topic of bullying, focusing on educating and empowering bystanders and observers of bullying incidents to act on behalf of the victims.
Since the start of the new year, the committee – which consists of representatives from Ridgewood and Glen Rock – has turned its attention to the topic of harassment, intimidation and bullying (HIB), which returned to the national spotlight following the New Jersey Council on Local Mandate’s ruling in January that the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights was unconstitutional unless the state provide funding for programs and requirements included in the bill.
