g. Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying (HIB) Summary
h. Sept. 1 – Dec. 31, 2011 HIB Trainings and Programs Data Collection
Natalie Maguire, Supervisor of Special Programs, reviewed EVVRS data for the Board. Ms. Maguire then read into the record the Commentary on Sept. 1 – Dec. 31, 2011EVVRS data verbatim as follows:
Public Law 2010, Chapter 122 now requires that districts report twice a year on incidents of violence and
vandalism, including harassment, intimidation and bullying (HIB). The first reporting period covers
September 1 to December 31, 2011 and will be reported on at this Board meeting. The second reporting period covers January 1 to June 30, 2012 and will be reported on during the October 2012 Board meeting.
The Burlington County Special Services School District has gathered and reported data for the Electronic
Violence and Vandalism Reporting System (EVVRS) for the past 13 years. This year the system has been
collecting more comprehensive data concerning HIB which will be addressed in this report.
May 24, 2012
The staff received training using the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program which was implemented this
September. The goals of the program are to reduce existing bullying problems among students, prevent the
development of new bullying problems and to achieve better peer relations at school. Most of the campuses are using the program for 30 minutes a session at least 1 time a week. In addition, some campuses are
providing other activities such as the “No Bullying Magic Show”. Attachment H is a copy of the HIB
Trainings and Programs Data Collection for each campus.
Attachment G is the District HIB Report which combines all the investigated HIB incidents for Reporting Period 1. There were a total of 18 investigated incidents of which half were confirmed. Of the 9 confirmed
there were 3 based on the Protected Category of sexual orientation, 3 mental disabilities and 1 each of
mental disability, race and gender. The majority of the unfounded incidents occurred on the Elementary
Campus.
Analysis of the EVVRS generated reports were conducted on all incidents for Reporting Period 1 and will be
discussed by category. Specifically, there were 14 violent incidents reported as follows: 4 simple assaults, 2
threats and 9 harassment/intimidation/bullying. The number of HIB reports has greatly increased most
likely due to the heightened awareness our staff now have concerning this type of incident and the
importance of reporting them. Elementary campus had 1 founded incident of HIB while Jr/Sr High and Lumberton had 4 each. Jr/Sr report 1 case of an assault and 1 threat. Lumberton had 3 assaults and 1
threat. We currently have experienced 2 cases of vandalism with minimal cost to the district. The district
will continue to provide counseling programs focusing on anger management, conflict resolution and
harassment reduction and bullying to address these problems.
The number of incidents involving substance abuse is currently at 8 confirmed usage of marijuana and 1
possession with all but one occurring at the Lumberton campus. We only had 1 weapons offense for
possession of a knife. We have worked with the WORKNET for the past six years to provide cost efficient
and timely testing of students who are suspected of being under the influence of a substance as well as
having a physician examine the student. This program has been highly successful in providing accurate
information as well as immediate medical care for the student.
Since its inception, the federally mandated Unsafe School Choice Option effort has maintained data and
identified schools which are considered as persistently dangerous. As local school districts are pressed to
implement this federal policy, we have continued to receive pupils who have been perpetrators in their local
schools being referred to our Lumberton and Junior/Senior programs. Thus, we must continue our efforts in the areas of prevention of violence and substance abuse. The Burlington County Special Services School
District is proud of its staff for their continuing efforts and will always strive to educate those students who
need our programs and services in a safe environment.
