Overview
This bill aims to address bias-related incidents involving students in New Jersey schools. If a student is found to have committed a bias incident on school property or at school-sponsored events, they must participate in weekly counseling sessions with a district-employed mental health professional for at least nine months. The school district is also required to develop a plan to address these incidents and report all reported incidents to the Department of Education. Furthermore, the bill mandates that school districts employ mental health professionals with specific training in areas like implicit bias and cultural competency.
