Requires individuals appointed to serve as school anti-bullying specialist and district anti-bullying coordinator to serve in those capacities full-time.

This bill (A3221) requires school anti-bullying specialists and district anti-bullying coordinators in New Jersey public schools to serve in those roles full-time, rather than part-time or in addition to other duties. It directly affects school staff appointed as specialists (e.g., counselors or psychologists) and district administrators appointed as coordinators. The key change amends existing law to mandate full-time commitment for both positions, ensuring these roles have dedicated focus on preventing, investigating, and addressing bullying incidents. The bill does not alter existing duties like chairing safety teams or collaborating with school staff, but requires these responsibilities to be handled exclusively by the appointed individuals. It takes effect in the first full school year after enactment.
