This workshop will help you update your district’s Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying (H.I.B.) Policy, as per the amended provisions of N.J.S.A. 18A:37-14 and 15.1 adopted on August 6, 2007, and further revised in January 2008*.

Participants should bring a copy of their current policy to the workshop.
