Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying (HIB)

The Trenton Board of Education prohibits acts of harassment, intimidation, or bullying of a pupil. A safe and civil environment in school is necessary for pupils to learn and achieve high academic standards. Therefore our district schools provide an educational environment that promotes growth and development of all students to fulfill the goals and objectives of our education program, grades PreK-12.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trenton Board of Education has approved guidelines for the implementation of policies, regulations and procedures to strengthen standards on reporting, investigating, and responding to incidents of HIB with strategies for intervention, remediation and prevention.

The NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (NJDOE) provides guidance, support and resources for the implementation of policies and regulations regarding Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying (HIB) behavior in district and schools across the state of New Jersey.
