New Jersey’s anti-bullying law: Benefits and burden
The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights is one of the most consequential laws for New Jersey public schools in years, though hardly the most flexible. That’s led some state officials to look for ways to make the measure less of a burden on schools.
What changes, if any, will be suggested remains to be seen. But the law’s supporters are standing firm that any modifications will need to come in administrative guidelines and not to the law itself.
“We’re not revisiting the bill itself, or its intent,” said state Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri Huttle (D-Bergen), one of the law’s primary sponsors, who has been part of the early discussions. (Mooney, NJ Spotlight)
