Princeton Regional Schools
Harassment, Intimidation & Bullying
Princeton Regional Schools take every report of harassment, intimidation and bullying very seriously. The PRS administration and Board of Education have worked diligently on civility and anti-bullying policies. We have worked hard to ensure that we are in compliance with the harassment, intimidation, and bullying legislation in New Jersey. Our intention is to ensure that our schools are safe and nurturing environments for every student and employee and that all students are taught to learn and engage with one another with compassion and empathy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anti-Bullying Procedures
In keeping with our school's mission to, among other things, provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for our pupils, JP has appointed our school counselor, Robin Minden, as our anti-bullying specialist. If you have concerns that another JP pupil is harassing, intimidating, or bullying your child, either at school or elsewhere, please call Ms. Minden at JP at 806-4240 or e-mail her at <robin_minden@monet.prs.k12.nj.us>.

Our Public Library – One of the Best Deals in Town!
There will be a new line, titled “Public Library Tax,” on your property-tax bill. This is not a new tax, but merely a break-out of the library tax from the municipal tax rate so you can be better informed about what your tax dollars support.
State legislation enacted on Mar. 21, 2011 stipulates that there must be a “dedicated” line item on the property-tax bill for the minimum funding to municipal and joint free libraries, such as the Princeton Public Library. This is similar to what has been done for years with county library systems. It does not result in any increased taxes, nor does it change existing financial, operational, personnel, or other relationships between The Library and Princeton Borough and Township.
As a Princeton Borough or Township taxpayer, you have access to one of the best public libraries in the country. In addition to our Library’s extensive collection of books in all formats and more than 100 public-use computers, our Library also provides help for job-seekers and offers college-preparation tools, after-school homework help, early-literacy programming for children, summer-reading programs for people of all ages, citizenship and E.S.L. classes, and so much more—all at no cost to participants. Please stop by the Library or check out its website at <www.princetonlibrary.org> for a complete listing of all the Library’s services and programs.
Library officials hope you’ll agree that funding provided to support our Library is money well spent and that the Princeton Public Library provides essential services and great value to our community. If you have questions about this, please call Library Director Leslie Burger at 924-8822, x250 or send her an e-mail at <lburger@princetonlibrary.org>.
