WOODBRIDGE BOARD OF EDUCATION FILE CODE: 5113 Woodbridge, New Jersey X Monitored X Mandated Policy X Other Reasons

ATTENDANCE, ABSENCES, AND EXCUSES

The Woodbridge Township Board of Education believes that the regular attendance of students in each class and in school in general is critical to its educational mission. The district shall endeavor to achieve the ninety percent (90%) attendance rate required by the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJQSAC). Continuity of instruction is an essential element in student performance and allows students the greatest opportunity to succeed at meeting the state learning standards in the Common Core State Standards New Jersey Student Learning Standards for mathematics and language arts and literacy and the Core Curriculum Content Standards New Jersey Student Learning Standards. The superintendent shall oversee the development of effective strategies that maximize student attendance at all scheduled periods of actual instruction or supervised study activities and strive to:

A. Encourage good attendance;

B. Discourage unexcused absences;

C. Identify patterns of absence, tardiness and early departures from school; and

D. Intervene to prevent and correct problems with attendance.

I. Attendance

A day in session for purposes of attendance shall be a day on which the school is open and students are under the guidance and direction of a teacher or teachers engaged in the teaching process. Days on which school is closed for such reasons as holidays, teachers’ institutes and inclement weather shall not be considered as days in session.

A school day shall consist of not less than four hours of actual instruction. One continuous session of two and one-half hours may be considered a full day in kindergarten.

A day of attendance shall be one in which a student is present for the full day under the guidance and direction of a teacher while school is in session. Where there are two sessions in a day due to overcrowding, either session of four hours or more, exclusive of lunch or recess, shall be the equivalent of a full day’s attendance.

A student shall be recorded as absent in the school register when not in attendance at a session, except students excused due to religious holidays who shall be recorded as excused. An excused absence for any reason other than due to religious holidays shall not be counted as a day of attendance in the school register.

The mere presence of a student at roll call shall not be regarded as sufficient attendance for compliance with law (N.J.A.C. 6A:32-8.3—School attendance). In a school which is in session during both the forenoon and the afternoon, a student shall be present at least one hour during both the forenoon and the afternoon in order to be recorded as present for the full day. In a school which is in session during either the forenoon or the afternoon, a student shall be present at least two hours in the session in order to be recorded as present for the full day.

A student not present in school because of his or her participation in an approved school activity, such as a field trip, meeting, cooperative education assignment, or athletic competition will be considered to be in attendance.

File Code: 5113 ATTENDANCE, ABSENCES AND EXCUSES (continued)

II. Excused and Unexcused Absence

A. Excused Absence An absence shall be considered an “excused absence” for the purpose of determining promotion, retention, truancy, grades, course credit, eligibility to make up missed assignments and tests for full credit, and violations of the school code of conduct for attendance, for the following five allowable reasons (New Jersey School Register, Ch.3): (school district must select options) :

1. The student’s illness; 2. Requirements of a student’s individual health care plan; 3. A death or critical illness in the student’s immediate family, or of others with permission of principal; 4. Quarantine; 5. Observance of the student’s religion on a day approved for that purpose by the State Board of Education (N.J.A.C. 6A:32-8.3h); 6. The student’s suspension from school; 7. Requirements of the student’s individualized education program (IEP); 8. Alternate short or long term accommodations for students with disabilities; 9. The student’s required attendance in court; 10. Interviews with an admissions officer of an educational institution (up to 3 days per school year, only for students in grades 11 and 12); 11. Necessary and unavoidable medical or dental appointments that cannot be scheduled at a time other than the school day; 12. Such good cause as may be acceptable to the principal.

1. Religious observance (N.J.A.C. 6A:32-8.3(h)): 2. A college visit (up to 3 days per school year, only for students in grades 11 and 12); 3. “Take Our Children to Work Day” (pursuant to memo issued by the Commissioner to all districts on April 25, 2017) or other rule issued by the Commissioner; 4. Participation in observance of Veterans Day (N.J.S.A. 8A: 36-13.2) or district board of election membership activities (N.J.S.A. 18A: 36-33); or 5. The closure of a busing district that prevents a student from having transportation to the receiving school.

Attendance need not always be within the school facilities. A student will be considered to be in attendance if he/she is present at any place where school is in session by authority of the board. The board shall consider each student assigned to a program of independent study, with parent/guardian permission, to be in regular attendance for that program, provided that he/she is under the guidance of a staff member so assigned, reports daily or weekly, as prescribed, to such staff member the place in which he/she is conducting his/her study, and regularly demonstrates progress toward the objectives of his/her course of study.

B. Chronic Absenteeism is defined in New Jersey’s ESSA State Plan as the percentage of a school’s students who are not present for 10 percent or more of the days that they were in “membership” at a school.

C. Cumulative Days In Membership is an element in NJ SMART defined as the number of school days in session in which a student is enrolled/registered during the annual reporting period from July 1 through June 30. The count will commence the first day the student is expected to start, even if they do not actually attend that day.

1. School Day In Session – is a day on which the school is open and students are under the guidance and direction of a teacher(s); and the day must 4 hours or more to be considered a full day (or at least 2-1/2 hours for kindergarten) (N.J.A.C. 6A:32-8.(a) and (b)). 2 File Code: 5113 ATTENDANCE, ABSENCES AND EXCUSES (continued)

a. The number of possible days in session for a student on home instruction is the same as for other students in the program in which the student is enrolled (N.J.A.C. 6A:32-8.1(f)). b. Schools must be in session a minimum of 180 days. c. The number of school days in session does not include summer school. d. The extended school year is included in the calculation up to June 30 and only when it is required for all students.

D. Cumulative Days Present is an element in NJ SMART defined as the number of school days a student is present (not absent) when the school is in session during the annual reporting period (July 1 through June 30) and the student is recorded under the guidance and direction of a teacher in the teaching process (N.J.A.C. 6A:32-8.3). Whether a student absence is due to illness, disciplinary action, or other reason, the student may not be considered present at school unless home instruction is received. A student with an “excused” absence per district board of education policy can NEVER be considered as present.

1. Time present – Full Day: For a school in session during morning and afternoon, the student must be present for at least one hour in the morning and at least one hour in the afternoon to be considered as present for a full day; for a school in session during either morning or afternoon, the student must be present at least two hours to be recorded as present for the full day (N.J.A.C. 6A:32-8.3(k)), for example, twilight programs. For a half day preschool or kindergarten session, the student must be present for at least one hour to be considered present for a full day.

2. Time present – Half Day: A student must be present at least one hour during any morning, afternoon, or evening session to be recorded as present one-half day (New Jersey School Register, Ch.3).

3. Home instruction: A student receiving home instruction is considered present and in membership under the following circumstances:

a. A student with a temporary or chronic health condition receives home instruction by a certified teacher for the number of days and length of time sufficient to continue the student’s academic progress. A student with a disability must receive home instruction consistent with the student’s individualized education program (N.J.A.C. 6A:16-10.1). b. A general education student, for reasons other than a temporary or chronic health condition, receives 10 or more hours of home instruction per week by a certified teacher 4 on at least three separate days and no fewer than 10 hours per week additional guided learning experiences (N.J.A.C. 6A:16-10.2). c. A student, when placed on home instruction through an IEP, receives 10 or more hours of instruction per week on at least three separate days by an appropriately certified teacher or teachers (N.J.A.C. 6A:14-4.8). d. NOTE: When instruction is provided for less than the minimum number of hours and/or days required per week, the student must not be recorded as present for more than four days when school was in session for a full five-day week. School districts are able to develop their own policy for determining the exact number of days to record the student present based on these circumstances.

4. School-sponsored education programs: A student participating in a school-sponsored educational program under the guidance and direction of a teacher, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:32- 8.3, even if not located in the school, is considered present and in membership (e.g., field trip, structured learning experience, community-based instruction).

5. In-school suspensions: A student temporarily removed from his or her regular classroom to 3 File Code: 5113 ATTENDANCE, ABSENCES AND EXCUSES (continued)

in-school suspension is considered present and in membership, provided the student is afforded the opportunity to continue to:

a. Appropriately participate in the general curriculum; and b. For students with disabilities, receive the services specified on the child’s IEP, and participate with nondisabled children to the extent they would have in their current placement.

6. Out-of-school suspensions: A student on out-of-school suspension is considered in membership and not present unless he or she receives home instruction as defined above. Students receiving short-term suspension must be provided with academic instruction that addresses the New Jersey Student Learning Standards within five days of the suspension (N.J.A.C. 6A:16-7.2(a)5). Students receiving long-term suspension must be provided with educational services (academic instruction and support services) within five days of the suspension (N.J.A.C. 6A:16-7.3(a)9).

7. Extended non-illness absences: Extended absences for non-illness shall be considered “unexcused”. Upon the 10th consecutive day of non-illness absence, the student will be dis- enrolled. If the student wishes to return to school after 10 days, the student will be re-enrolled in the school district with no guarantee of returning to the same school or the same class. The student will be subject to the unexcused days in membership to be considered for promotion.

E. Student-level Absentee Rate: Each student’s absentee rate is calculated based on the fields of Cumulative Days Present and Cumulative Days in Membership collected in NJ SMART. Cumulative Days Present (P) is subtracted from the Cumulative Days in Membership (M), and this number is divided by the Cumulative Days in Membership (M).

M – P M

If the student-level absentee rate is equal to or greater than 10%, the student is chronically absent.

F. School-level chronic absenteeism: The school-level chronic absenteeism rate is calculated by dividing the number of chronically absent students during the school year by the total number of students enrolled in the school.

G. Truancy is defined as 10 or more cumulative unexcused absences (N.J.A.C. 6A:16-1.3). All school districts are required to have a policy and procedure that include a definition of unexcused absences that count toward truancy; thus, how “excused” and “unexcused” absences are defined for purposes of expectations and consequences regarding truancy, student conduct, promotion, retention and award of credit is a local decision (N.J.A.C. 6A:16-7.6(a)3). The NJ SMART Cumulative Days Towards Truancy field is not considered in the calculation of chronic absenteeism.

An "unexcused absence" is a student’s absence for all or part of a school day for any reason other than those listed as excused absences in “A” above. An unexcused absence may be counted toward retention, truancy, loss of course credit, ineligibility to make up missed assignments and tests for full credit, and violations of the school code of conduct for attendance. Absence is expressly not excused for any of the following reasons (this list is intended to be illustrative and is not inclusive):

1. Family travel; 4 File Code: 5113 ATTENDANCE, ABSENCES AND EXCUSES (continued)

2. Performance of household or babysitting duties; 3. Other daytime activities unrelated to the school program; 4. Leaving school without permission when school is still in session; 5. Leaving class because of illness and not reporting to the school nurse as directed; or 6. Being present in school but absent from class without approval. Such absence from class is a "class cut."

H. Tardiness

The orderly conduct of class activity depends upon the prompt and precise beginning of the program. Tardiness hinders the proper conduct of school activity. Students are expected to arrive to school and class on time. A student who is tardy to any class will be subject to disciplinary action as outlined in board policy 5131 Conduct and Discipline and the student code of conduct. Consequences for accumulated occurrences of tardiness may include detention, loss of credit and an unexcused school day absence.

III. Attendance, and Instruction, and Promotion

A. In order for the board of education to fulfill its responsibility for providing a thorough and efficient education for each student, the complete cooperation of parents/guardians and students is required to maintain a high level of school attendance.

The frequent absence of students from classroom learning experiences disrupts the continuity of the instructional process and limits the ability of students to complete the prescribed curriculum requirements successfully. The following rules shall apply for student absences: The district shall develop regulations that define the attendance requirements for promotion.

In order to be considered to have successfully completed the instructional requirements of the grade, a student must be in attendance 163 days.

B. Students absent from school because of a family vacation are unexcused. The district is not obligated to provide academic instruction or assignments during periods of unexcused absences for vacation.

a. Teachers shall not be required to prepare or provide work prior to the period of the absence; b. Students shall be required to make-up any missed work, at the teacher’s discretion.

C. Religious Observance –In accordance with statute, no student absent for religious observance of a day recognized by the Commissioner of Education or this board of education shall be charged with an unexcused absence, deprived of an award or eligibility/opportunity to compete for an award, or of the right to take an alternate to a test or examination missed through such absence; Teachers must provide work for student to complete. Parent should notify the classroom teacher prior to the religious observance to allow proper time to gather schoolwork.

7. A student shall be considered absent from class for tardiness in excess of one half of the total class period.

8. A student shall be considered absent from school for participation in less than 4 instructional hours during the school day.

A student must be in attendance for the required amount of school days in order to be considered to have successfully completed the instructional program requirements of the grade/course to which he/she is assigned.

A waiver of these attendance requirements may be granted for good cause by the school principal upon 5 File Code: 5113 ATTENDANCE, ABSENCES AND EXCUSES (continued) recommendation of a review committee, appointed by him/her, and consisting of representative staff, including student service personnel and classroom teachers.

In recommending the granting of a waiver of this attendance requirement, the principal shall consider the nature and causes of all absences rather than only those in excess of the required amount of days. Documentation of the nature and causes of these absences shall be the responsibility of the student and parent/guardian. The absence of documented parent/guardian notes, doctor’s notes, and other records that verify that an absence was excused according to board policy, shall be considered unexcused. Unexcused absences shall count toward truancy and may be subject to loss of grade or course credit toward promotion or graduation and disciplinary actions according to the code of student conduct. Notes from parents/guardians shall be considered but the district may require additional documentation such as doctor’s notes or other official records to verify the note.

Parents/guardians are responsible for notifying the school early in the day when a child will be absent and for informing the school in writing of the reason for the absence.

D. Procedures for Unexcused Absences - When a student fails to report to class or school accumulating up to four five unexcused absences, the district shall:

1. Make a reasonable attempt to notify the student’s parents/guardians of each unexcused absence prior to the start of the following school day;

2. Make a reasonable attempt to determine the cause of the unexcused absence, including through contact with the student's parents;

3. Identify in consultation with the student's parents needed action designed to address patterns of unexcused absences, if any, and to have the child return to school and maintain regular attendance;

4. Follow all procedures according to law and board policy 5142 Safety and 5141.4 Child Abuse and Neglect if a potential missing or abused child situation is detected;

5. Cooperate with law enforcement and other authorities and agencies, as appropriate.

If contact through these means is unsuccessful the district may follow-up with another attempt to contact the parents/guardians or send a letter reporting the unexcused absence and requesting the parent/guardian to contact the school.

E. Procedures for Persistent Absences - If the pattern of unexcused absences continues and five to nine unexcused absences are accumulated the district shall:

1. Make a reasonable attempt to notify the student’s parents/guardians of each unexcused absence prior to the start of the following school day;

2. Make a reasonable attempt to determine the cause of the unexcused absence, including through contact with the student's parents to address patterns of unexcused absences previously;

3. Evaluate the appropriateness of action taken as identify in consultation with the student's parents;

4. Develop an action plan to establish outcomes based upon the student's patterns of unexcused absences and to specify the interventions for supporting the student's return to school and regular attendance, which may include any or all of the following:

a. Refer or consult with the building’s intervention and referral services team;

6 File Code: 5113 ATTENDANCE, ABSENCES AND EXCUSES (continued)

b. Conduct testing, assessments or evaluations of the student’s academic, behavioral and health needs; c. Consider an alternate educational placement; d.

i. When the unexcused absences are determined to be violations of the compulsory education law and board policy; ii. When there is evidence of a juvenile-family crisis the student may be referred to Superior Court, Chancery Division, Family Part. “Juvenile-family crisis” pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:4A- 22(g) means behavior, conduct or a condition of a juvenile, parent or guardian or other family member which presents or results in a threat to wellbeing and safety of the juvenile, serious conflict regarding the juvenile’s conduct, unauthorized absence from home, pattern of unauthorized absence from school, or human trafficking;

f. The implementation of all required procedures for potential abuse, neglect or missing child including cooperation with law enforcement and other authorities and agencies, as appropriate; g. Engage the student’s family.

F. Discipline - All discipline regarding the attendance of students shall be consistent with the board policy 5131 Conduct and Discipline and the code of student conduct. Consequences for absences may include:

1. Students may be denied participation in co-curricular activities if their attendance fails to meet the standards set forth herein;

2. Students may be denied participation in athletic competition if their attendance fails to meet the standards set forth herein;

3. Loss of partial or total course credit;

4. Detention or suspension.

5. No student who is absent from school for observance of a religious holiday or other excused absence shall be disciplined and/or deprived of any award or of eligibility for or opportunity to compete for any award because of the absence.

6. Students, parents and guardians shall be notified of disciplinary actions for attendance including loss of credit and may appeal this determination through the procedure as set forth in board policy 5145.6 Student Grievance Procedure.

G. Truancy - For cumulative unexcused absences of 10 or more, the student between the ages of six and 16 is truant, pursuant to law. The district shall:

1. Make a determination regarding the need for a court referral for the truancy;

2. Make a reasonable attempt to notify the student’s parents of the mandatory referral;

3. Continue to consult with the parent and the involved agencies to support the student’s return to school and regular attendance;

4. Cooperate with law enforcement and other authorities and agencies, as appropriate;

7 File Code: 5113 ATTENDANCE, ABSENCES AND EXCUSES (continued)

5. Follow all procedures required by N.J.S.A. 18A:38-28 through 31, Article 3B, Compelling Attendance at School and other applicable state and federal statutes as follows:

a. An attendance officer who finds a truant child, shall take the child and deliver him/her to the parent/guardian or other person having charge and control of the child, or to the teacher of the school which such child is lawfully required to attend; b. The attendance officer shall examine into all violations and shall warn the child, the parent/guardian or other person having charge and control of the child of the consequences of the violation if persisted in; c. The attendance officer shall notify the parent/guardian or other person having charge and control of the child in writing, to cause the child to attend school within five days from the date on which notice is served, and regularly thereafter; d.

The sheriff and his officers and all police officers and constables shall assist the attendance officer in the performance of their duties; f. A parent, guardian or other person having charge and control of a child between the ages of 6 and 16 years, who shall fail to comply with any of the provisions of this article relating to his duties, shall be deemed to be a disorderly person and shall be subject to a fine of not more than $ 25.00 for a first offense and not more than $ 100.00 for each subsequent offense, in the discretion of the court. In any such proceeding, the summons issuing therein, or in special circumstances a warrant, shall be directed to the alleged disorderly person and the child.

J. Regular Release of Students Before the End of the Normal School Day - There are varying situations which may justify release of certain students from school before the normal time for closing. Such situations are justifiable only if the release does not jeopardize the student's educational program and the reasons for such release can be shown to have positive benefits for the student.

K. Late Arrival and Early Dismissal - The board recognizes that from time to time compelling circumstances will require that a student be late to school or dismissed before the end of the school day.

As agent responsible for the education of the children of this district, the board shall require that the school be notified in advance of such absences by written request of the student's parent/guardian, which 8 File Code: 5113 ATTENDANCE, ABSENCES AND EXCUSES (continued)

WOODBRIDGE BOARD OF EDUCATION FILE CODE: 5141.4 Woodbridge, New Jersey X Monitored X Mandated Policy Other Reasons

MISSING, ABUSED AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN

The Woodbridge Board of Education believes that a child's physical and mental well-being must be maintained as a prerequisite to the achievement of the New Jersey Learning Standards. The board therefore believes that it is important to identify and investigate suspected incidents involving missing, abused and neglected children immediately. The school will cooperate with the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) and law enforcement authorities in identifying and reporting all such cases, whether institutional or non-institutional.

In order to increase awareness of the symptoms of missing, abused and neglected children and cause them to be better informed on all aspects of abuse and neglect, the board directs the lead person to provide information and inservice training on these subjects to all school employees. Specifically this training shall include information on the district’s policies and procedures for reporting allegations of missing, abused, or neglected child situations. All new employees, volunteers and interns shall receive the required information and training as part of their orientation.

Liaisons to DCP&P and Law Enforcement Authorities

The superintendent shall designate a staff member or staff members who shall act as liaison between DCP&P and the district. The liaison shall facilitate communication and cooperation between the district and/or the school and DCP&P and act as primary contact between the schools and DCP&P.

The superintendent shall also designate a staff member or staff members who shall act as liaison between law enforcement authorities and the district. The liaison shall facilitate communication and cooperation between the district and law enforcement authorities and act as primary contact between the school and law enforcement.

Reporting Procedures

In accordance with law (N.J.S.A, 9:6-8.10; P.L. 2019, c. 40), any person having reasonable cause to believe that a child has been subjected to child abuse, including sexual abuse, or acts of child abuse shall report the same immediately to the Division of Child Protection and Permanency by telephone or otherwise. Such reports, where possible, shall contain the names and addresses of the child and his/her parent, guardian, or other person having custody and control of the child and, if known, the child's age, the nature and possible extent of the child's injuries, abuse or maltreatment, including any evidence of previous injuries, abuse or maltreatment, and any other information that the person believes may be helpful with respect to the child abuse and the identity of the perpetrator.

The Coordinator of Security is therefore directed to develop procedures for compliance with statutory requirements that child abuse and neglect be reported. All procedures as well as this policy shall be reviewed by the Executive County Superintendent. Procedures shall have:

A. All staff members, volunteers and interns having contact with pupils are required to report directly and immediately to DCP&P all incidents of alleged missing, abused and neglected children. The person having reason to believe that a child may be missing or may have been abused or neglected may inform the principal or other designated school officials prior to notifying DCP&P if the action will not delay immediate notification. Employees, volunteers and interns shall not be required to obtain confirmation by

File Code: 5141.4 CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT (continued)

another person to report a suspected missing, abused or neglected child situation;

B. The person notifying DCP&P shall inform the principal or other designated school officials of the notification, if this was not done prior to notifying DCP&P. The principal or other school designated school officials should not be given this notification if the person making the notification believes that it would likely endanger the reporter or student involved or result in retaliation against the student or in discrimination against the reporter with respect to his or her employment;

C. The principal shall notify the law enforcement authorities of incidents of potentially missing, abused, or neglected child situations. Law enforcement authorities shall be notified about all reports by employees, volunteers, or interns working in the school district. Procedures for the notification of the law enforcement authority shall consistent with the district Memorandum of Agreement (see board policy 1410 Local Units);

D. The principal shall ensure that all involved staff cooperate with DCP&P and law enforcement authorities in all investigations of potential missing, abused, or neglected children including facilitating:

1. Accommodations permitting investigators to interview the student in the presence of the school principal or other designated school official. If the student is intimidated by the presence of the school representative, the student shall be requested to name an employee, volunteer, or intern he or she feels will be supportive to be present during the interview; 2. Interviews by scheduling time with any employee, volunteer, or intern who may have information relevant to the investigation; 3. The release of all records of the student who is the subject of the investigation that are deemed relevant to the assessment or treatment of a potentially missing, abused, or neglected child; 4. The maintenance, security, and release of all confidential information about potential missing, abused, or neglected child situations; 5. The release of the student to child welfare authorities while school is in session when it is necessary to protect the student or take the student to a service provider. This removal shall take place only after the principal or his or her designee has been provided, either in advance or at the time removal is sought, with appropriate documentation that DCP&P has already removed, or has appropriate authority to remove, the student from his or her home; 6. The transfer to another school of a student who has been removed from his or her home by DCP&P for proper care and protection (see board policy 5118.2 Foster Care and Educational Stability).

Any person who knowingly violates the reporting requirements and fails to report an act of child abuse having reasonable cause to believe that an act of child abuse has been committed, is a disorderly person.

Any person who knowingly fails to report an act of sexual abuse against a child and who has reasonable cause to believe that an act of sexual abuse has been committed is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree which carries a term of imprisonment for up to 6 months, a fine of up to $1,000, or both (N.J.S.A. 9:6-8.14; P.L. 2019, c. 40).

Due Process

Due process rights will be provided to school personnel or volunteers who have been reassigned or suspended as a result of an accusation of child abuse or neglect. Temporary reassignment or suspension of school personnel, with pay, or volunteers alleged to have committed an act of child abuse or neglect shall occur if there is reasonable cause to believe that the life or health of the alleged victim or other children is in imminent danger due to continued contact between the school personnel and a child. Due process rights shall include notice of the proposed suspension and pre-suspension opportunity to respond.

2 File Code: 5141.4 CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT (continued)

If abuse is found, resulting from a single incident occurring in the school district, the chief school administrator shall be available to meet with the Department of Children and Families, which may request that the chief school administrator create a corrective action plan. The plan may include, but shall not be limited to, action to be taken with respect to a teacher, intern, employee, volunteer or other staff member to assure the health and safety of the alleged victim and other children and to prevent future acts of abuse or neglect. Within 30 days of the date the Department requested the remedial plan, the chief school administrator shall notify the Department in writing of the progress in preparing the plan. The chief school administrator shall complete the plan within 90 days of the date the Department requested the plan.

If the child abuse or neglect is the result of several incidents occurring in the school district, within 30 days of receipt of the report of child abuse or neglect, the Department of Children and Families may request that the chief school administrator make administrative, personnel or structural changes within the district.

Records

All information regarding allegations of potentially missing, abused, or neglected children reported to authorities about an employee, volunteer, or intern working in the school district shall be considered confidential and may be disclosed only as required to cooperate in investigations. Records pertaining to such information shall be maintained in a secure location separate from other employee personnel records and accessible only to the school district chief school administrator or his or her designee

All references to a notification to the designated DCP&P of a potential missing, abused, or neglected child situation involving a school district employee shall be removed from employee personnel records immediately following the receipt of an official notice from DCP&P that such allegations were unfounded.

Suicide Reporting

The board is committed to supporting State efforts to improve the information available to both professionals, who are in contact with youth at risk of suicide, and families at risk; identify and provide suitable intervention services to reduce the incidence of suicide; and educate youths and families at risk about the resources available for suicide prevention and intervention about youths who attempt suicide. Therefore, in compliance with law (N.J.S.A. 30-9A-24 and N.J.A.C. 6A:11-1) school district employees, volunteers, or interns with reasonable cause to suspect or believe that a student has attempted or considered suicide, shall report the information to the Department of Children and Families.
