NJ has some of the most stringent anti-bullying laws in the nation. Our schools have laws and procedures that they have to follow. In this podcast I explore this issue with David Nash. A very important issue. https://t.co/m8ppFYXXAV @njsba @NJPSA

Had a great conversation with New Jersey's 2024-25 School Board Member of the Year, Charles Caraballo from the Bloomingdale BOE. Charles is a soft spoken individual but an effective leader. @njsba
