A370

New Jersey A370 mandates guidance and training on social media's role in school bullying and updates student learning standards.

New Jersey A370 requires the Commissioner of Education to develop a guidance document on social media's impact in school bullying, updated annually and accessible online. The bill mandates training for school employees and volunteers on preventing bullying, including social media use. It also revises student learning standards to include instruction on social media and digital citizenship, consulting experts on mental health and cyberbullying. The bill establishes a School Climate State Coordinator to promote positive school climates and provide resources on social media's effects.
