This document provides an overview of New Jersey's laws around bullying, known as the HIB (Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying) Act. It discusses definitions of bullying, requirements for school policies, reporting procedures, roles of school staff, and training requirements. Key points include:
- HIB is defined as any gesture, communication or physical act motivated by a student's actual or perceived attributes that places a student in fear of harm or damages property.
- School staff must report incidents to the principal who investigates within one day. The superintendent informs the board of education and outcomes.
- Schools must appoint anti-bullying specialists and form safety teams to address bullying prevention and response

Remarks by Angela Stevens McNeil
July 26th 2008
Good Morning. My name is Angela Stevens McNeil and I have the privilege of introducing the next Hall of Honor Inductee, Dr. William Allan Kritsonis. Dr. Kritsonis was chosen because of his dedication to the educational advancement of Prairie View A&M University students. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in 1969 from Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. In 1971, he earned his Master’s in Education from Seattle Pacific University. In 1976, he earned his PhD from the University of Iowa.
Dr. Kritsonis has served and blessed the field of education as a teacher, principal, superintendent of schools, director of student teaching and field experiences, invited guest professor, author, consultant, editor-in-chief, and publisher. He has also earned tenure as a professor at the highest academic rank at two major universities.
In 2005, Dr. Kritsonis was an Invited Visiting Lecturer at the Oxford Round Table at Oriel College in the University of Oxford, Oxford, England. His lecture was entitled the Ways of Knowing through the Realms of Meaning.
In 2004, Dr. William Allan Kritsonis was recognized as the Central Washington University Alumni Association Distinguished Alumnus for the College of Education and Professional Studies.
Dr. William Kritsonis is a well respected author of more than 500 articles in professional journals and several books. In 1983, Dr. Kritsonis founded the NATIONAL FORUM JOURNALS. These publications represent a group of highly respected scholarly academic periodicals. In 2004, he established the DOCTORAL FORUM – National Journal for Publishing and Mentoring Doctoral Student Research. The DOCTORAL FORUM is the only refereed journal in America committed to publishing doctoral students while they are enrolled in course work in their doctoral programs. Over 300 articles have been published by doctorate and master’s degree students and most are indexed in ERIC.
Currently, Dr. Kritsonis is a Professor in the PhD Program in Educational Leadership here at Prairie View A&M University.
Dr. William Kritsonis has dedicated himself to the advancement of educational leadership and to the education of students at all levels. It is my honor to bring him to the stage at this time as a William H. Parker Leadership Academy Hall of Honor Inductee.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

38. NJ LAW
Synopsis: 2002 New Jersey Laws, AB 1874, Requires
each school district to adopt a policy prohibiting
harassment, intimidation or bullying on school
property, at a school-sponsored function or on a
school bus. The policy must include a definition of
bullying behavior, consequences for engaging in such
behavior, a procedure for investigation of reports of
such behavior, a statement prohibiting retaliation or
reprisal against persons reporting bullying behavior
and consequences for making a false accusation.
Requires school employees, students or volunteers to
report any incidents of bullying, intimidation and
harassment to appropriate school officials. Grants
immunity from any cause of action for damages
arising from a failure to remedy the reported incident
to persons reporting these incidents.
39. Here’s the Real Deal…
160,000 students miss school every day due to
fear of attack or intimidation by a bully. (Fried &
Fried, 1996)
Seven percent of 8th graders stay home at least
once a month because of bullies. (Banks, 2000)
Ten percent of students who drop out of school
do so because of repeated bullying. (Weinhold &
Weinhold, 1998)
About 10 – 15 % of children say they are regularly
bullied. (Banks, 2000)
40. Bullies identified by age eight are six
times more likely to be convicted of a
crime by age 24 and five times more
likely than non-bullies to end up with
serious criminal records by the age of
30. (Maine Project Against Bullying,
2000)
Sixty percent of students characterized
as bullies in grades 6-9 had at least one
criminal conviction by age 24 (Banks,
2000)
41. FIRST - Recognize the Warning
Signs!!!
A victim of bullying may have...
☹ Frequent crying jags
☹ Recurrent complaints of physical
symptoms such as stomachaches
or headaches with no apparent
cause
☹ Unexplained bruises
☹ Increased passivity or
withdrawal
42. ☹ Sudden drop in grades, or other
learning problems
☹ Not wanting to go to school
☹ Significant changes in social life
no one is calling or extending
invitations
☹ Sudden change in the way your
student/child talks — calling
herself a loser, or a former friend
a jerk
43. STRATEGIES WITH BULLIES
Non negotiable/Set amount of time
Correct the Bully’s thinking errors
Give
brief, clear description of
unacceptable behaviors and
consequences (consistency is key)
Build empathy for the victim
Remember – it is not the child that is
unlikable, only their behavior!
44. STRATEGIES WITH VICTIMS
Use supportive style
Reduce self-blame through
identification of bully behavior
Demonstrate compassion and
empathy
Connect victim to helpful peers (build
a support network)
Mobilize the bystanders to become
the caring majority in the classroom.
45. NEVER BRING BULLY AND VICTIM
TOGETHER!
This only gives the bully
more ammunition and
validates the bully’s behavior
This type of behavior should
be handled by the adults–
this is not a “kids” problem
46. ESTABLISH A BULLY
PREVENTION ADVISORY
GROUP
Include administration,
teachers, aides, support
staff, parents, DARE
officer or SRO
47. DETERMINE THE SCOPE OF THE
PROBLEM (SURVEY)
Informally with K-3rd
- What is teasing vs.
bullying? activity
Formally with 4th grade
and up
48. USE CLASSROOM LESSONS
Crucial starting point so
that all students have the
same information and
know what is expected of
them.
Must be built into the
curriculum and repeated
throughout the year.
49. INVOLVE PARENTS...
o Conduct meetings with
and disseminate information
to parents at the school to
make them aware of the
school's anti-bullying plan of
action.
o All parents and children
should sign off on the policy at
the beginning so there are no
questions later on.
50. INDIVIDUAL-LEVEL INTERVENTIONS
HAVE A SERIOUS TALK WITH THE BULLY
- this should happen immediately!!
DOCUMENT INVOLVEMENT and participation in
bullying.
Send a clear, strong message that BULLYING IS NOT
ACCEPTABLE.
Advise the bully that future BEHAVIOR WILL BE
CLOSELY MONITORED
51. Expect that the bully will try to minimize and
deny their actions and responsibility. REFER TO
SCHOOL AND CLASS CODES OF CONDUCT
in telling the bully why their behavior was
unacceptable.
Warn the bully that additional NEGATIVE
CONSEQUENCES WILL BE ADMINISTERED if
bullying behavior does not stop. Follow through
is critical
52. HAVE A SERIOUS TALK WITH THE VICTIM - Talks
with the victim and their parents should occur AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE after a bullying incident and should
happen SEPARATELY FROM THE BULLY.
DOCUMENT specific bullying episodes. Include how the
bullying started, what happened, how it ended, who
participated, and who witnessed it.
PROVIDE THE VICTIM WITH INFORMATION about the
teacher's plan of action in dealing with the bully. Reassure
them that all possible steps will be taken to prevent a
recurrence.
Attempt to PERSUADE THE VICTIM TO IMMEDIATELY
REPORT ANY NEW BULLYING EPISODES to the teacher.
53. FOLLOW UP IN COMMUNICATING with parents and
with other teachers and administrators about the
situation, until it is clearly resolved. Send copies of all
reports to parents of the students involved and place
them in the students' files.
CHANGE OF CLASS OR SCHOOL. If anti-bullying
measures are in place and the problem persists despite
these measures, moving the aggressive student can
bring about change. If possible, the aggressive student
should be moved before considering moving the victim.
This solution should not be taken lightly, and all
concerned parents and teachers should plan and
consult with each other.
54. And Most Importantly…
Teachers, parents and childcare
providers should be aware of their
own behavior all of the time.
Remember, adults serve as
"models" for students who respect
them and may wish to emulate
them. Likewise, students will not
respect the teacher or classroom
rules against bullying if the teacher
is sarcastic, unfair, or abusive.
