Dear Clinton Township School District Parents,
In the beginning of the year, there are a variety of policies to read and sign off on. We always want parents to read each policy in its entirety but occasionally we will have updates that are created to help make parents aware of changes.
Listed below are updates to and reinforcement of key aspects of our HIB policy
-
NEW. If an incident or event is considered a Bias incident, that is an incident where the student is harassed based on membership in a protected class (i.e., race, color, national origin, sex, ancestry, nationality, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, civil union status, domestic partnership status) as set forth in the Law Against Discrimination (N.J.S.A. 10:5), it must be reported to both the police and the county prosecutor by the school district. Here is an overview of the NJ youth bias task force report.
Thank you for reading our HIB policy and working to support your child. Should you have any questions please reach out to your child’s school anti-bullying coordinator.
