Explanation and Interpretation of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act School District Grade
The New Jersey Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act requires the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) to grade each public school and school district on their efforts to implement the requirements of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act (N.J.S.A. 18A:17-46).
Each school completes an annual School Self-Assessment through its School Safety/School Climate Team. The assessment evaluates the school’s implementation of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act across eight core elements and is based on established indicators and supporting documentation. The maximum score a school may receive is 78 points.
The HIB School Grade is not a traditional academic grade or letter. It is a reflection of the school’s self-assessment of its implementation of the requirements of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act.
The assessment considers areas related to the school’s policies, procedures, prevention and intervention efforts, staff training, reporting and investigation practices, and other components of HIB implementation.
For additional information regarding the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act and the HIB School Grade process, please visit the New Jersey Department of Education’s HIB webpage .
