New Jersey S3715 establishes requirements for students engaging in bias-related conduct, including mandatory intervention plans and reporting.

New Jersey S3715 mandates that school districts develop and implement a Racial and Bias Intervention Plan for students involved in bias incidents. This plan must be created by a team including an administrator, a school counselor or social worker, the student’s parent or guardian, and other appropriate individuals. The plan includes educational and restorative intervention components, skill-building supports, and environmental and supervisory measures. The bill also requires students to meet with a State-certified school psychologist weekly for nine months.
