S 4102 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires school districts to establish procedures for online reporting of harassment, intimidation, and bullying.

This New Jersey bill requires public school districts to create specific procedures for reporting harassment, intimidation, and bullying online. It mandates that each district provide an electronic reporting form on its official website, allowing individuals to submit complaints anonymously, though formal discipline cannot be based solely on anonymous tips. The law also updates existing rules to ensure all incidents are reported to school principals within two school days and that written records are maintained on standardized department forms. While the bill preserves local control over policy details, it sets minimum requirements for definitions, consequences, and the inclusion of online reporting options in district anti-bullying policies.
