BULLYING REVIEWDefinition of HIB under N.J.S.A. 18A:37-14:– Any gesture, written, verbal or physical act, or electronic communication, whether a single incident or series of incidents,AND– That is reasonably perceived as being motivated either by any actual or perceived characteristic, such as race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression or a mental, physical or sensory disability, or by any other distinguishing characteristic,AND– That takes place on school property, at any school sponsored function, on a school bus or off school grounds that substantially disrupts or interferes with the orderly operation of the schoolAND that:- Any gesture, any written, any verbal or physical act … and that:(a) a reasonable person should know . . . will have the effect of physically or emotionally harming a student or damaging the student’s property, or placing the student in reasonable fear of physical or emotional harm to his person or . . . property; or(b) has the effect of insulting or demeaning any student or group of students in such a way as to cause substantial disruption in, or substantial interference with, the orderly operation of the school;(c) creates a hostile environment at school for the student;or(d) infringes on the rights of the student at school.Additionally:“The statutory definition of “bullying” does not include all violent or aggressive conduct against a student. The definition, both before and after adoption of the 2010 Anti-Bullying Act, refers to conduct that is “reasonably perceived as being motivated” by a “distinguishing characteristic” of the victim, such as, “race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or a mental, physical, or sensory [disability]”
N.J.S.A. 18A:37-14.”“The statute has not limited “distinguishing characteristic” to those specifically enumerated, but it has consistently required such a perceived motivation. Thus, harmful or demeaning conduct motivated only by another reason, for example, a dispute about relationships or personal belongings, or aggressive conduct without identifiable motivation, does not come within the statutory definition of bullying.”– K.L. v. Evesham Township Bd. of Educ., 423 N.J. Super. 337, 351 (2011)
