Amends public school laws on harassment, intimidation, and bullying to apply to certain acts against teachers and staff members; revises definition of "harassment, intimidation, or bullying" in "Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act."

This bill (A 2742) amends New Jersey's "Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act" to explicitly include teachers and school staff as protected individuals under the definition of "harassment, intimidation, or bullying" in public schools. It revises the law to ensure acts targeting educators - such as verbal, written, physical, or electronic acts that disrupt school operations or cause harm - are covered under existing protections. School districts must update their anti-bullying policies to specifically prohibit bullying of staff, including clear reporting procedures and consequences for violations. The changes apply to incidents occurring on school property, at school events, on buses, or in specified off-campus situations.
