L.W. v. Toms River Regional Schools Board of Education
Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division/ Amicus L.W., a student in the Toms River schools, was subjected to anti-gay peer harassment and bullying based on his perceived sexual orientation. As he progressed through school, the harassment increased in frequency and severity. He ultimately transferred to another school district. The Director of the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights held that the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination protected L.W. from the harassment, using the same standard that applies to employment discrimination. In February 2005, the ACLU-NJ and other child advocates filed an amici curiae (friend-of-the-court) brief urging the Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division to extend anti-discrimination protections to school children subjected to bias-based bullying. The brief calls to the Court's attention the negative impact that peer harassment and bullying have on students and the school environment, and urges for New Jersey's school children to be protected from discriminatory peer harassment. The briefs in this matter have been impounded by the Appellate Division.

Site Map search contact Press Room Because Freedom Cannot Protect Itself - About the ACLU-NJ - Chapters - Bill of Rights - Publications ... Discrimination
Across the United States, politicians have attacked the very basis for equal opportunity in government employment and education programs by introducing legislation to end affirmative action policies. In New Jersey, Assembly Bill 1678, introduced by Assemblymembers Michael Carroll and Gregg Guy, seeks to prohibit public and certain private affirmative action programs based upon race, ethnicity, sex, color or national origin. Fortunately, this misguided legislation does not seem to have legs, at least for the time being. The debate over affirmative action highlights the central place of race in American politics, and is an issue on which the ACLU takes a clear stand. Affirmative action is necessary in order to remedy long-ingrained patterns of legal discrimination in society, some of which continue in our law books even today. Generations of lost opportunities have taken their toll. We cannot pretend that race and sex discrimination existed only in the past, and that everybody now starts from the same place. On the contrary, we have heaped disadvantages on minorities. The road to an equal society requires constructive race and gender consciousness. Anti-affirmative action legislation has been deceptively and cynically referred to as "civil rights" initiatives. This label couldn't be more misleading. Affirmative action programs work by recognizing and reducing the social and economic barriers to equal opportunity that resulted from discrimination. Affirmative action does not mean hiring unqualified people in place of qualified ones. It means seeking out and expanding the pool of qualified candidates.

With regard to world languages, the code language reads: " District boards of education shall develop, adopt, and implement requirements for a State endorsed diploma which include . . . at least 10 credits in world languages effective with the 2001-2002 grade nine class. " This should be interpreted as 10 credits taken in sequential courses in one language, for example, two years of French. The two-year requirement may be implemented in any two-year period within the four-year high school program and applies to

New Jersey
Overview
New Jersey's Office of Telecommunications and Information Systems was founded by executive order in 1984 to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the telecommunications and information technology used in state government. The state's telecommunications connections are provided by the Garden State Network, a leased system. New Jersey is relying on private industry to build its hub on the information highway. Although New Jersey has long-standing ties with the telecommunications industry, its infrastructure and use of telecommunications applications for government and education providers appear minimal at this time. A request for proposal was issued in August 1995 for distance learning, video teleconferencing equipment, and support services.
Applications
Public access
Many New Jersey counties, towns, and cities have developed websites to inform users about events in their areas and to attract business. The Department of Insurance has posted an extensive set of information about its office, filing claims, and tips on buying health and life insurance.
Government Services
The Department of Human Services uses the Garden State Network to support its Income Eligibility and Verification System.

New Jersey Department Of Education
New Jersey Department Of Education - As part of a revolutionary ten-year-plan, the New Jersey Department of Education has undergone a complete reorganization to be of greater assistance to school districts.
The reorganization will enable the New Jersey Department of Education to better balance its oversight function with its role of providing support to local educators in their efforts to provide a quality education to all New Jersey students in traditional and non-traditional educational settings.
By making the New Jersey Department of Education a more valuable resource, local high school districts will now be able to stretch their education dollars to great effect.
New Jersey Department of Education's new focus will be on teaching and learning and on providing the technical assistance to districts and teachers to help them improve the quality of both parts of the education process.
A major benefit of New Jersey Department of Education reorganization will be the aggregation of all functions that are part of Whole School Reform in the Abbott districts into one division under Assistant Commissioner Gordon MacInnes. To make progress with the thirty Abbott districts, the New Jersey Department of Education is dedicated to better co-ordination this. The Abbott Implementation division will integrate pre-school programs, all aspects of whole school reform, and facilities for the Abbott districts.
Another major change in the organizational structure, which was approved by the New Jersey Board of Education nearly two years ago, will be to decentralize many of the support functions of the department into three regional offices to enable the New Jersey Board of Education to deliver services all over the state.

    3Rs and Beyond
    This document is riddled with mis-information, policies and initiatives based on wishful thinking, certainly not the law. The basis for much of the real policy in NJ for home educators is found in the State vs. Massa decision and a statute concerning “compulsary education.” This clearly states that Homeschooling is legal. Homeschooling in NJ is defined under the part of the statute that covers "receiving equivalent education other than public school". Parents do not need to notify the school board that a home education program is being conducted. Parents are fully complying with the law by providing an education for their children that is equivalent. No public school official needs to know, review or approve of it to make it so. We will also be posting legislative issues and initiatives that would in any way impede our rights and responsibilies as Home Educating Parents.

My name is Andrew Blelloch. I am the State Government Relations Coordinator for New Jersey for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). I have been a resident of West Windsor, New Jersey for the past 32 years and my four sons all graduated from West Windsor-Plainsboro High School. Three of them went on to obtain engineering degrees.
    On September 2, a letter from the ASME Sections in New Jersey, representing over 3,300 members of the society in the state, was delivered to the Board expressing their concern that technology was not being adequately addressed in the proposed graduation requirements. The purpose of this address is to express our concerns in greater detail. The revised proposed graduation requirements of August 6 (6A:8-5.1) states: "Technological literacy, consistent with Core Curriculum Content Standards, (should be) integrated throughout the curriculum…." This statement implies that the Board will not fully adopt a separate core curriculum in technology mandated by Assembly Bill 2169.

    Ms. Maud Dahme
    President
    State Board of Education
    P.O. Box 500
    Trenton, NJ 08625-0500
    Dear Ms. Dahme:
    On behalf of the New Jersey members of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), we are writing to express our concern with the paucity of technological content in our school curricula for grades K through 12 and its impact on this state's and our nation's ability to maintain its current lead in technology. Please note that of the 176,000 students at 4-year universities and colleges in the state, only 3.2 percent are engineering students and only 0.8 percent of women students.
    For this reason we strongly support the implementation of Assembly Bill 2169 which requires the Board to adopt core curriculum standards in technology. According to the recent National Academy of Engineering (NAE) report, Technically Speaking, technology is defined as not only computers and word processing, but "the products, process, and knowledge needed to create and use artifacts" and all the other tools of the modern world. We are pleased that the Governor's press release regarding the signing of the bill noted that technology education was now mandatory for New Jersey's students.
